>Something to do with the color red

kek. it just means colored

as for florida, its spanish for 'flowery' and its short for 'land of the flowery easter'

You're alright Pedro

Yeah well most american unironically think that spanish is a language of native american tribes.

The other day I saw a casual comment by some guy, not on Sup Forums, in a discussion about some native american tribe's world for "hello" sounding the same as 'bonjour' (hello in french), which freaked some french discoverers out, and some guy commented something along the lines of: "heh, I bet they started talking in french to them because of it and the natives were like, "que?"".

Just a random unrelated comment but it got me thinking about what my country's culture means to the world nowadays. And all for not slaughtering the natives of the conquered lands, lol.

Alabama and Alaska sound spanish tbqh

Pls watch

Estoy bastante seguro que colorado significa rojo en este caso.

high quality banter
