Characters from Mexico are upset at a White character taking a part requiring speaking with a Spanish accent. 1) Spanish is the language of the White people of Spain, a European country inhabited by its exclusively native Whites, a language which the South Americans have appropriated but is not native from the Americas. 2) Marlo Thomas was not White but an Arab, from Lebanon. 3) The only reason to be offended is if the accent pertained to the real, original languages from Mexico, such as Nahuatl, Maya, Otomí, Mixteco, Zapoteco, Totonaco, Chol and Mazateco, which have been given up by the Mexicans in favor of the native language from the Spaniards.
