Reply to comment by FearlessPicture2477 in [OC] English Words of Spanish Origin and the Number of Mentions in Wikipedia by OfficialWireGrind
These words aren’t of Spanish origin, it’s factually wrong. Many languages borrow from other languages, including a majority of English words, but you would say that the words have an origin in English.
You being threatened by acknowledging those words are actually of native origin is racially/culturally insensitive. You’re being defensive about word origins having native roots and not acknowledging it when you’re trying to promote those words being used in a third language.
