So why were those lists in Spanish? Honest question, I don’t get it. Or were they in both English and Spanish and this person has “conveniently” missed the English version?
A close friend is a Lopez. She’s Puerto Rican and Taíno. When she joined the fire department, when filling out forms, under race they resorted to Hispanic surname.
Also a decent chunk of the country used to be part of Mexico. I don’t know why someone would be surprised that a Martinez would be an American citizen when Los Angeles is an American city
Why would that be bait? I’m speaking as a multilingual person who has lived in multiple countries. Even if you never study a day of that language, you are quickly going to learn how to refer to common objects and use basic verbs.
These kinds of organizations intentionally withhold the names of the donees from the donors.
Yeah, it is very important, no matter who the donee is, or why they are getting help. Who the fuck wants it known, that they need aid? Especially now society is incredibly cruel to those, struggling with misfortune. That might even prevent people, from seeking help, which then leads to all sorts of issues - and not only for that individual. And one of the other reasons obviously being, it gives the ones, like that moron pictured, possibility of finding them, with evil intent.

maria, Diego, margaritia.
100% what he means.
“Written in Spanish” LMAO fucking 🤡
I assumed it was a list of supplies to buy? I’m confused about this whole enterprise it seems.
Because the parents who wrote the lists of birthday presents and school supplies are Spanish speakers and perhaps not really English speakers.
It was certainly a list of names. You can’t function in another country without being able to use basic vocabulary for everyday things.
I’m pretty sure this comment is bait, but 🤷♂️.
