I´m watching this video of a Brit in Asturias, saying that Spaniards aren´t very polite. I imagine that´s his experience. I was wondering, me being a Spaniard and all, what´s the popular opinion here on NSG when it comes to my countrymen (those of you who have spent time in Spain or know Spanish people)? Does anyone here think we´re really that rude?

You're probably only rude to drunk tourists on the Costa del Crappy. (I would be too)

Ein?:confused:

the French are the rude ones. the Spanish Ive met have been pretty mellow

I don't know, but they spam like no one's business. :eek:

I don't know, but they spam like no one's business. :eek:

Awww, thank you Troglo, thank you so much. Yet another person that recognizes our awesome spamming qualities.:D

I've heard pretty horrible things about Spaniards. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is that they use a lot of racial slurs pretty openly, not because they're racist but because "they don't know any better."

--snip--
Nah. Your ancestors just enslaved my ancestors.

I think the rude ones of Europe are the French. The way they treat people that don't speak their language is a bit screwed up from what I have seen. Spanish in my experience have been friendly. I have been all through Spain and never remember any particular rude behavior. Going to Malaga in August for a few days. In fact I would say that most of the Southern European countries are decent.

Nah. Your ancestors just enslaved my ancestors.

And your ancestors were from? And you´re from?;)

Lol that is funny. Cause they don't know any better or they don't give a shit? I bet it is the latter.

Well, we do use racial slurs with Moors. But that doesn´t mean we don´t know any better. We probably don´t give a flying hoot about it.:rolleyes:

And your ancestors were from? And you´re from?;)
the Philippines. Some of our history books... hate the Spain so much. But I hear today's Spaniards loved us so much they named a brown cookie after us.

ROFL! Not that I know of. Spain did a lot of damage on its imperial phase. I´m not proud of that. I do know that we, Asturians, are very nice people.

Another thing is they may be upset by the wave of English speaking immigrants that won't assimilate into the culture. Expecting the native Spaniards to erect English street and shop signs. They come and take what they want and head for home every winter. Did I mention the flag waving nationalist that protest Spanish treatment? I find it disgusting. ;)

Wait, you are Asturian? I just saw the other day a news story about how Asturians were the rudest people in Spain. Gonna have to find it for you.....

Well, we do use racial slurs with Moors. But that doesn´t mean we don´t know any better. We probably don´t give a flying hoot about it.:rolleyes:

Ehhh, I am married to a Moor. :D

To think I was going to invite you over for dinner at our house in Tangiers this summer. I say good day sir!

I always say when in France, speak French. When in the US, speak English. So, when in Spain, speak Spanish. If you´re coming into my country, better act like us and don´t expect the government to cater to your every need by erecting store signs in English just because you came from a different country. That´s how I see it. And I´m happy we don´t bend to the whims of a few immigrants. If you don´t like it, leave. And if you can´t leave, we´ll deport you. No worries about that. ((Not directed at you, Marrakech))

Not really. Asturians aren´t rude. Try Catalanes and Vascos. Those are the rudest people in all of Spain.

Wait, you sure you are not a red blooded American? This sounds all to familiar..... :D

Well, we do use racial slurs with Moors. But that doesn´t mean we don´t know any better. We probably don´t give a flying hoot about it.:rolleyes:

OK, so you are rude.

Ehhh, I am married to a Moor. :D

To think I was going to invite you over for dinner at our house in Tangiers this summer. I say good day sir!

Well, dear, the history of hate between Moors and Spaniards is quite old. They were in our land for 800 plus years.

Wait, you sure you are not a red blooded American? This sounds all to familiar..... :D

Nope. Asturian through and through.

Given that my experience with Spaniards extends only to Nanatsu and Manuel from Fawlty Towers, I guess I'll vote 'no'.

OK, so you are rude.

Nope, we´re not. The racial slurs are used against Moors on the account of years old problems that stem from the Moorish invasion of 800 years ago. The Moors do the same when talking about us.

But these aren't the same people who invaded 800 years ago.

Well, dear, the history of hate between Moors and Spaniards is quite old. They were in our land for 800 plus years.

No offense but how the hell did the Moors occupy Spain for so long? Also the favor was returned wasn't it. Funny how I practically live in a Spanish city within Morocco. During the summer that is....

Anyway if you throw the Moroccans of the north and the Spaniards of the South into the same place it would be difficult to figure out who is who. I figure that half of Morocco and Spain are related.

ROFL! Not that I know of. Spain did a lot of damage on its imperial phase. I´m not proud of that. I do know that we, Asturians, are very nice people.
And Spain ingloriously ended its imperial phase on us by selling us to Americans for $20 million. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Paris_%281898%29) :D But they brought us Roman Catholicism, la mierda*, paella, the alphabet, chorizo, and our surnames.

*I think I know what this means in Spanish, but here it has a COMPLETELY different meaning. You will enjoy "lamierda" here. :p

--snip--
We also got from Spain the term "Moro" as a term for the Muslims who live in the southern part of the country... just like in Spain before 1492.

But these aren't the same people who invaded 800 years ago.

*shrugs*
What can I say? Osama Bin Laden hates the West on account of the Crusades. The Westerners nowadays are not the same Westerners that started the Crusades. It´s in our social psyche, unfortunately.

It's retarded.

But these aren't the same people who invaded 800 years ago.

I think reparations should be paid. That would make everyone forget how they were not invaded themselves. :eek:

Spaniards are not rude, the French are rude. Spaniards are chill, they're relaxed and calm. Unless there is a challenge to their religion, or their country, in which case they bust out the Toledo blades and kill some Aztecs.

Yes, Nanatsu, you are a horrible, rude person. I hate you. Shut up and go away.

No offense but how the hell did the Moors occupy Spain for so long? Also the favor was returned wasn't it. Funny how I practically live in a Spanish city within Morocco. During the summer that is....

Anyway if you through the Moroccans of the north and the Spaniards of the South into the same place it would be difficult to figure out who is who. I figure that half of Morocco and Spain are related.

You have to remember that technologically, the Moors were more advanced at the time. That was mainly their advantage for 800 years against the Spaniards, plus the fact that we weren´t a united nation at the time. That started in the late 1400s with Queen Isabella and King Fernando.

And yes, Southern Spain and Morocco, or the rest of the Arab countries are very similar in the people that live there.

No one suspects the Spanish Inquisition?

I´m gonna be rude right now. Please, use the quote button at the bottom right side of the post box.

Just people using the past to justify ignorance and hate. Silly humans....

Silly, but it´s not only with us. African-Americans do it too. And what about the Muslims? It´s a never ending cycle. I´m not proud of our own racial slurs. But they´re there.

I like this.


Ceuta? Melilla? Parsley Island?

No I live in Tangiers in the summer. Been to both Ceuta and Melilla over the years. They are not to far off. Tangiers in my opinion is a Spanish city at it's heart still. Spanish influence is everywhere.

I like this.

Palma de Mallorca.

I visited Majorca and everyone spoke German.

Palma de Mallorca.
Balearic Islands? :confused:

Little? I'll have you know I'm over 5&1/2 ft. tall, thank you very much.

He is, and he doesn´t know it.

Well damn.

Except now I do. Because you warned me.

You're not very good at inquiring, are you?

Always wanted to go to those Islands out there. How is it?

Oh my, they´re gorgeous. We like to go to Andratx, Caldepera and Canviá. I also recommend Pollenca in the north.

Little? I'll have you know I'm over 5&1/2 ft. tall, thank you very much.

Uuuhhhh, you´re so big! And scary! Please.:rolleyes:

I always say when in France, speak French. When in the US, speak English.

If my language was that complicated, I'd probably be cross a lot, too.

Silly, but it´s not only with us. African-Americans do it too. And what about the Muslims? It´s a never ending cycle. I´m not proud of our own racial slurs. But they´re there.

What do African-Americans do? You mean they face slurs in the US, or they use them? Because the African Americans I know only dislike black people.

Uuuhhhh, you´re so big! And scary! Please.:rolleyes:

There you go being vague again!

Please what?

Please scare you?
Please have sex with you?
Please viciously attack you with a rusty hammer?
Please scare you thoroughly by attacking you with a rusty hammer while having chocolate vanilla milkshake strawberry waffle sex with you?

Never met one. Movies make Spain look nice, however.

Well, I know English isn´t the official language, but its the most widely spoken there.

LOL! Euskera is very complicated. I took some of it in school and aced the course, but I can´t speak nor understand it for the life of me.

Nah, is not the racial slurs with African-Americans. It´s the reparations. But I´m getting off this topic before I offend someone unintentionally.

Here is the difference between Spain and France.
In Spain they realize that visiting Spain for about 1 week I am not likely to learn perfect Spanish, and they tolerate my broke Spanish or switch to broke english as the situation requires. Also they realize that I being an American I am likely to speak Spanish with a Mexican accent since thats the only people i can practice with here. The French utterly refused to speak with me unless I spoke perfect French and heaven forbid my French reek of French Canadian accent.

Yeah I think I agree. I am a fluent French speaker and I always get asked where my French accent is from. I say America and get the oddest looks. My father was French which gave me an odd accent mixing it with my American upbringing.

:rolleyes:

You may also touch my tra-la-la and/or ding ding dong.

They are, but for some reason, he can´t separate that I´m Spanish, and not Asian. Since the very beginning, to him, I´m a hot Spanish-Asian chick, so I don´t bother too much correcting him. Let the poor dude dream.

Whenever I've been to France, conversations have been kind of a game, where each person tries to outdo the other person's non-native speaking ability. You score points by tricking people into responding to you in their native language.

well when I've been there they refuse to communicate in English or French, got so bad i went to the catholic church just so i could speak in Latin with the priest.

though I hear southern France is actually much more friendly.

Rhyno´s a she-male! I knew it!!:eek:

It goes beyond that… Rhyno's a woman trapped in a woman's body, but one who has been convinced she is a man by family and friends.

yes of course all Americans are fluent in Latin.
but seriously Yes I speak Latin as well as Korean and Chinese.
Chinese because I work at a Chinese restaurant and i wanted to learn how to yell back at the boss.
Korean because i lived there for 2 years while I was in the military.
and Latin because I hung out with catholic priest and debated the bible/ other religious meanings when i was a preteen and teenager.

though to be fair my Latin sucks goat balls now having used it in a decade. but being in France was about a decade ago.

Yeah they are. I am going to watch over the girls to much though. Going to be probably to protective. Anyway good talking with you. I don't believe we ever got into a discussion before. Es muy tarde aquí.

Yeah, Spaniards (and French) are sometimes rude... but everyone knows Italian has got the best swearwords, che cazzo, porca puttana! :cool:

Oh gods. That reminds me of a friend´s husband. I likes to talk to her that way when he wants to get some. And uses that exact phrase.

That translates as ¨Fuck, whorish pig!¨, right? Or Fuck, dirty slut. Along those lines.

I´m watching this video of a Brit in Asturias, saying that Spaniards aren´t very polite. I imagine that´s his experience. I was wondering, me being a Spaniard and all, what´s the popular opinion here on NSG when it comes to my countrymen (those of you who have spent time in Spain or know Spanish people)? Does anyone here think we´re really that rude?

I just went to Spain. Most of the people I came in contact with there were really nice.

Pinchers of womens bums is the Brit sterotype of Spainards. I have never been to Spain, but I have english friends over there and when ever they come back to see me, with native Spainards in tow I have found them to be nice people, a little mad, but a great laugh.

I don't recall finding any of the Spanish people I have met in the slightest bit rude. I have met more people from Portugal, than Spaniards, and everyone single one of them has been really likeable.

The rudest people I have come across are from Yorkshire and from Norway - but in both cases this might just be a cultural thing in the way they try and speak English.

You're probably only rude to drunk tourists on the Costa del Crappy. (I would be too)

Indeed.

Well I have heard that racism is pretty rife in Spain these days...

I'll find out in a few weeks when I'm in Bilbao....hopefully they're not.

The rudest people I've ever met in Spain have been English tourists.

I don't know about rudeness... the common stereotype about Spaniards (coinciding with personal obeservances) is that they have this tendency to just stop in their tracks no matter where to have a chat or stare at something, entirely oblivious to the nuisance they are presenting to anyone trying to get past them.
I've noticed groups of them getting off full busses at the end of the line, and just stopping once their feet touch the ground for a chat among themselves, while others trying to get off the bus simply can't. Eventually, an enraged busdriver might yell at them, causing consternation and strange looks.
Also, they tend to walk as many abreast as the pavement will hold, and walk extremely slow.

Other than that, I had two Spanish housemates at different times, both of which turned out to be utter nutcases (both of them threatening me, one with a knife, the other just with words).
While I realise that this probably doesn't reflect the entire Spanish population, it has made me somewhat wary.

Spain doesn't follow the seen but not heard policy of child rearing so its a bitch at restaurants and stuff

the English working class on holiday is abysmal however being an English gentleman myself to me your all a bunch of impolite savages who can't sail :p

J/K!

Eons ago when i went to Spain with my high school Spanish class, i vividly remeber the catcalls and whistles at the girls in our group even in the middle of a tour inside of a church. And we were told that this was common and normal.

It is common. I gotta own to that. I remember that one time, when I was 16-17 this old man at a pub back home yelled at me in passing: Move that ass. I love it! I was horrified. But I became accustomed to it. It´s normal now, but in no way a good thing.

My daughter visited both Spain and France when she was in the Navy. She just plain despises the French, they are, according to her, insufferably rude and arrogant. The Spanish, she says are slightly better; the men are, by her accounts, incredibly good looking, if only they would shut up.

My experience with Spanish men has been so different... Sometimes you need them to say more than what they´re saying.

The British think everyone is rude:p

As any other people, not specially rude, however, there are some obnoxious people there too.

Sudaca is a good reason for spaniardhating. Even if you throw your passport at them, they despise you. Fight fire with fire, then.

I think it all depends on which part of Spain those tourists hailed from. Northern people are very rude, even I admit to that. Southern people, in general, are awesome.

Well i honestly have no idea which part they came from, i didn't want to speak to them, they were pretty impolite.
However they totalled about 30 people who were tired i believe.
Another load who came in were also rude, but happy which was worse for me, but hey they're on holiday what do they care about me.
Now I wouldn't draw the conclusion all Spanish are rude because i haven't met them all. As you are Spanish and polite, this would infer my experiences have just been unlucky. Still some of them were hot so it's not all bad.;)

while i'm on the topic i found most American and Canadian customers to be the most polite we had, and generally very chatty and kind. Of course i can't draw the conclusion they are all like that, but i think it helps if you speak the same language to the destination you're going.
I don't mean that nasty like, but it's true. I also apologise for all those rude arrogant Brits who go abroad, they really get on my nerves, mind you most rude people do but maybe i've got a scewed sense of reality. who knows?

More or less, but it isn't an insult or a request. It's just an expression of disappontment, and a truncated blasphemy (in the complete form, it would be followed by "Eva" or "la Madonna", the first being Eve and the latter NOT being Maria Luisa Ciccone).
An english rendering of "Che cazzo, porca puttana" would be "What the fuck, for the sake of that dirty slut <insert female holy figure here>!"

Who-hoo. An English gentleman who writes as an American.

By the way, it's quite ridiculous to hear Englishmen calling Southern Europeans "savages". If I remember correctly, which I do, the Britons were still painting their faces with blue when here, in the Roman Republic, our ancestors were intent on building paved roads and aqueducts. Seesh. ;) :p

You tell them, Ris. These damn English gents!

A funny anecdote from a friend of mine. She was walking by the streets of Sevilla, holding a pretty expensive camera in her hand, (she's a photographer), and her handbag, and then suddenly she saw a pretty, small alley nearby. As she enters and takes a picture of a virgin painted over the wall, one man appears from the front as another one stands in the exit as to prevent her escape, (according to my friend, who yes, is a sucker for walking alone into a solitary alley in a foreign country, both men were perhaps the hotter pieces of ass she has ever, ever seen).

The man in front of her, moving slowly, without taking his glance from her eyes, (as she was inmobile as a rabbit flashed by a lightbeam), took the handbag from her shoulder, looked inside, took like 200-300 euros, (can't remember the exact amount), and gave her the bag back.

She put puppy eyes and tried to put her camera away, and then the man looked her in the eyes again, with a pair of amazing green orbs, and said smiling "No te preocupes, maja, que el arte no se le roba a nadie), (Don't worry, pretty, you don't steal art from noone), and left, letting her keep the camera.

According to her, it was the most polite assault she could ever imagined, and wished that here the muggers could learn a lesson or two from those handsome spanish ones. (According to me, she's a total idealistic idiot. However, after the last mugging attempt on me left me with several broken ribs, a swollen face and a week at the hospital, can't really disagree with her about the "courtesy" of the mugging).

That is sad and funny at the same time. Best way not to get assualted in a foreign country is do your best not to act and look like a tourist in major cities. I know it is difficult to do sometimes but damn people need to use common sense.

I, on the contrary, have had your same experience, with American tourists. English tourists for example, try to speak Spanish to us whereas Americans think we have to speak English to them at all times.

I would venture to guess that ten times as many Americans speak Spanish than Englishmen. As for some of my fellow Americans I see in Mexico for example (because I go there a lot) they try to speak Spanish a lot. I think it may just be perception on your part rather than a fact.

One thing I am rather surprised by in Europe and especially Southern Europe is how many people do not speak two languages fluently. With all those languages so close together it amazes me that people in Spain don't pick up French and vice versa. I was in Italy and had a hell of a time finding someone that spoke either French, English or conversational Spanish. I scratched my head a bit about it but realized that people are the same all over the world with regards to knowing a single language.

With Spain is more of people being more interested in picking up the regional dialects. My mother, for example, speaks Spanish, Asturian, Euskera and some Valenciá. People are more interested in keeping the dialects alive at all cost, than picking foreign languages.

I was in Spain for a few months last spring, and wouldn't call the Spaniards rude so much as blunt. I see 'rude' as trying to be gross or offensive, whereas in the general case of the Spanish I see them as not really trying to offend, but still have a bit more candor than people are generally used to.

That is, when you can actually get one to talk to you. I actually know Spanish pretty well, and even when I was speaking Spanish (in Castilla-Leon, so I know they spoke Castellano), they didn't really respond when I tried to simply be friendly. I don't know if the fact that I'm a blonde-haired, heavy set, blue eyed American had anything to do with it, though I was sometimes confused for being a German.

That´s odd. Leoneses tend to be so friendly. We Asturians call them cousins.
But of course, Leonés and Asturian are practically the same in the common dialect, or more the similar characteristics of both dialects. We Asturians, although not considered rude, can be somewhat stiff with foreigners. I try not to, in general, but some foreigners do get on my nerves. But yes, we can be too blunt in general, to point of perhaps, offending some sensibilities.

The way I see it, the french are the rude ones. They call Americans uncivilized when they themselves advocate prostitution, including within the military.

I would´t call the French uncivilized because they advocate prostitution. If I were to do that, I would have to call uncivilized a lot of nations like the US, India, Indonesia, Thailand, The Netherlands, Brazil amongst others. Just because prostitution isn´t frowned upon doesn´t make a nation uncivilized. The prude argument was superfluous.

Those are honorary titles. Just like him having the title of King of Spain. No real power. I would leave Jerusalem to the Jews and the Moors.

Gods, what history books are you reading? Or what sort of hash are you smoking?:rolleyes: Honestly. Jerusalem belongs to the Middle East, to either Israel or Palestine. Now, wether the Jews or the Arabs have a claim to it, I don´t care. It certainly doesn´t belong to Spain. The title of King of Jerusalem of the King of Spain is just that, and title and honorary at that. It holds no true claim.

Sure, but some people will complain ;)

Now, wether the Jews or the Arabs have a claim to it, I don´t care. It certainly doesn´t belong to Spain. The title of King of Jerusalem of the King of Spain is just that, and title and honorary at that. It holds no true claim.

Ceuta and Melilla will be returned to Morocco then ?

Not in the near future. Morocco wants them but I highly doubt Spain will give them up. Probably the same reasons Gibraltar will remain British.

Sure, my mom will be happy (if I start living in Spain 24/7 she will complain even more that I'm not at home enough). I needed an excuse to go to eSpain more often anyway :D It's been 1.5 years now :( But bring Sangria with you, okay? And I know it's from Andalusia, but I'm dying for some Gazpacho. Oh, and from Catalunya, the Pa Amb Tomaquet :D

Roger. I´ll bring you some fabes and sidrine from Asturies, along with some steaming bollines. But you do ask for a lot of things. Are you pregnant?

Ceuta and Melilla will be returned to Morocco then ?

Sure, just talk to my government. If it were on my hands, Ceuta and Melilla would be back in Moroccan hands. But it´s no up to me, right? Just like if it were up to me, the Basque Country and Catalunya would be independent nations. Alas, it isn´t up to me.

Never said you would. I said that I won't bow to you unless you do.

Meh... don´t bow. Your loss.

My loss of what? Way I see, I trade dignity and authority for naked pics (which is an awesome deal, btw), but as you are not willing to pay the price for my dignity and authority, you shan't have it.

Also, I'll trade them for sexual favors. But that generally involves seeing the person naked so you know...

in my experience the spanish aren't rude, they just swear a lot.

How's about MSN?

But my only demand is that I'm allowed to bring one of my sticks, as I'm pretty good at stick fighting, and, well... I need a live test subject, and...

*shifts eyes*
