i need this to be paraphrased
(I do not view Mock Spanish as being racist at all. In fact, I actually see it as a positve thing because it is a way for people to learn and know a few words from another language. My grandmother is Puerto Rican and the only fluent spanish speaker in my family. Although she speaks to us in English, her spanish still comes out when she is talking to friends or gets emotional. I have picked up a few words from her that I have said in front of my friends and they have also picked those up and say them often. If I had not picked up some phrases from my grandmother, then my friends would not have known those words or phrases either. I think that Mock Spanish becomes racist in the context it is used. If it is used to mock another culture then it will be considered racist. If people are just saying words or phrases in spanish, it is if anything a good thing that they know at least some phrases of another language. )
