Would you consider this to be offensive?

Ok so long story short, I post my photos on Facebook that mostly has family on it but it also has people from school. I do not speak very good English and my family does not speak it at all so when I post it is in Spanish. Some one in my Spanish club sent a screenshot of some of my posts with this at the end. I told her that this was kind of rude to say and she said "people get offended by the simplest jokes these days". Am I over reacting or is this offensive?

That was very rude of her to say. Why is she in Spanish club if she doesn't want people to speak Spanish? Also doesn't Facebook have a "See Translation" button?

Wow, that's rude as hell. Why do people feel entitled to demand what language people speak?

That doesn't even make sense, why would someone if Mexican heritage or nationality need to speak English?

Please tell her to learn a second language if she wishes to understand what you’re posting about. It’s not your fault she’s a dumbass. Ella es una idiota No te preocupes.

I cannot stand when people go out of their way to be an asshole and then say "stop being so sensitive and easily offended 😌"

Very rude and potentially racist. Facebook is an international and multilingual environment. Content can be in any language shared by a subset of users. In the world only a small minority speaks English as a first language, in fact more people have Spanish as a first language than English.

I am Latin American and it strikes me as extremely racist. The person who posted (and many others) will certainly disagree. Some people think that only the person making the claim can know if it was racist or not, because no one is inside their head. These people are way more likely to be racist. 🤷🏽‍♀️😂

Not potentially racist. It is racist.

Yeah, it's rude and offensive and it's none of her business if you want to post on your own Facebook in English, Spanish, or Swahili.

Um that is extremely rude and a bit racist. That's like saying a stupid white person meme like "hey white person.....stop shooting Mexicans" shed probably be uber offended.
