AOC Condemns Spain For Stealing Mexico’s Language

MUNICH — In a bold declaration against colonial imperialism, U.S. Congresswoman Alexandro Ocasio-Cortez spoke out this week to condemn Spain for stealing Mexico's language.

According to AOC, Spain is a racist, dirty, white colonialist old power and should repatriate the Spanish language back to Mexico, where she said it originated.

"How dare you appropriate Mexico's native tongue?" AOC berated the Spanish prime minister, shaking her head in disbelief. "I can't believe you would stoop to such lows. How do you even steal an entire language? It's worse than Ocean's Eleven. What's going to be next? Stealing the recipe for Tex-Mex chicken enchiladas or copying Catholicism from Mexico and taking it to Europe? Check your privilege, bigot."

The New York congresswoman further castigated Spain for plagiarizing the idea of cool horsemen with ponchos and guitars from Mexico back in the 16th century.

"Everyone forgets about these historical travesties, but not me," AOC said. "I won't stay quiet any longer and watch as Spain continues to get off the hook for the atrocious thefts of the early modern period. Who came up with caballeros in the first place, anyway? I know it was Mexico, since I've heard ABBA's 'Fernando' just as much as anyone. Plus, the word 'caballero' is Spanish, which is Mexican."

At publishing time, AOC had called upon world leaders to support her efforts by renaming the language "Mexicanian."

As a follow up she will also accuse England of stealing English from America. :)

The only part of Spain I have been in is the Madrid airport. I didn’t hear anyone speaking Nahuatl (but probably wouldn’t have recognized it if I had heard it). And of course Nahuatl wasn’t the only pre-Conquest language of Mexico.

Yeah, I had to look too. It really is in character. She needs to get after the French and the Russians for stealing our salad dressing. Dang colonizers.

Did she say something particularly stupid to trigger this article? Or is she just a good target of opportunity any time because of her base level stupidity?

He thought Austrians spoke Austrian.

Fact check...of course, “Austrian” is not a language. The people of Austria mainly speak German, but they also speak Turkish, Serbian, Croatian and a few other languages.

“”OK, I really had to check to see this was the Bee. She’s that stupid.””

As I’m sure everyone else had to check also...We get it - but sadly for the country and at least for her constituents, she doesn’t...

I agree. This seems totally plausible to me.

I guess you didn’t see her face plant in Germany.

She gave Kamala a run for her money in word salad.

“”He thought Austrians spoke Austrian.””

You’re right. Glad you spoke up - all I could think of was something to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger but my mind went blank...Poor Arnold..still hasn’t learned to speak English; he’s doing some TV ads for something.

I remember voting for Tom McClintock for CA governor years ago when Arnold won the election. Also I remember some FReepers were critical of me for not wanting him in Sacramento.. McClintock is in Congress...

I watch Shark Tank and believe it or not Maria Shriver and her son with Arnold were on there pitching some product - don’t remember what it was...don’t think any Shark was interested..An aside - THAT Mark Cuban is an arrogant son of a gun...

Rubio said something at the Munich conference about the "cowboy archetype" coming from Spain. AOC snidely said that Mexicans and Africans would have something to say about that.

As if the Mexicans didn't get the "cowboy archetype" from Spain in the first place, along with most of the rest of their culture.

And Africans? When I think of Africa, the first thing I think of is "cowboys" ... ok, not.
