Annotation
This study explores whether the use of Mock Spanish in the U.S. indeed constitutes a type of racist discourse, whether it can only be employed by non-Latinos, and whether there are any links between individual reactions and informants' gender, age, education, racial-ethnic self-identification, Spanish language competence, and extent of contact with native Spanish speakers.
