Participant 1: (Indistinct)
Participant 2: It does.
Christina: Hey guys.
Participant 2: Hey. This is my friend from work. Christina I—ga—
Christina: Christina.
Participant 3: I saw on your profile that you love travel.
Christina: Yeah, I do actually.
Participant 3: I was thinking, you know, it’d be fun to be like, travel buddies or something. You know, go to Mexico, or something like that. Yeah, I don’t. Yo no, hablo ingles. I don’t speak Spanish.
Christina: Oh, um…I don’t either, actually. I’m terrible at Spanish.
Matt: Hey, I’m Matt from Sales.
Jesenia: Hi, Jesenia from IT.
Matt: Ohh. Ches-yentia.
Jesenia: Jesenia.
Matt: Jes-syenie-yuh. That’s exotic.
Jesenia: Yeah.
Matt: You know, I dated a Cuban girl once.
Participant 2: Oh my god, we were just talking about my trip to Puerto Rico.
Christina: Oh, I’ve been to San Juan before.
Participant 2: San…Juan. God, you say it so much better than me. Is that where you’re from?
Christina: Um, no. I’m actually from Chicago.
Participant 3: I thought you were Latina.
Christina: Oh, I am. I am. I just don’t speak Spanish.
Matt: How do you say “you’re hot” in Spanish?
Jesenia: Como chingas.
Participant 3: Where are you from?
Christina: The United States of America.
Participant 3: Oh, me too. Well, that’s great.
Matt: I’m from Sales. You’re IT?
Jesenia: Makes sense. IT, yes.
Matt: I only thought nerds and old people worked in IT. If I knew hot Latinas were up there, I would have changed jobs, like, months ago.
Participant 2: So, is it true that Mexicans and Puerto Ricans hate each other?
Christina: Um, no.
Participant 3: Oh, like, you must be mixed or something. Yeah. That’s kind of great, you got the best of both worlds.
Christina: Are you mixed?
Christina: Puerto Ricans gave us two of God’s greatest gifts. Chong, and J-Lo.
Participant 2: So can you cook like Puerto Rican food really well?
Christina: I’m Mexican.
Participant 2: Tacos, then!
Matt: Okay, okay. Hey. Como shrinkras.
Participant 2: Oh, burritos!
Participant 1: Yeah.
Christina: Do you know what burritos even are? They’re not even like a real Mexican thing. “Burrito” means “little donkey.” You’re eating a little donkey. That’s what a burrito is.
Participant 2: Oh no, I don’t do that.
Participant 3: I don’t really know where I’m from, but I’m probably, yeah a mix of…I just identify as Caucasian, and “Asian” is in “Caucasian” so I guess I’m a bunch of different stuff.
