This is fine. Whenever I ask about childcare, I always secretly would prefer to hear an argument about who the worst president in history was!

A growing group of young Latinos are using TikTok and social media to push back on not speaking perfect Spanish — an attempt to define their identity and heritage on their own terms.

There are so many reasons (including systemic) why some Hispanic kids don't know Spanish; doesn't make us any less Latino/a/e.
