    I’m from San Antonio originally. Most people I knew back home see that as something which is peculiar to Austin because it has such a high percentage of people who just recently moved there from out of state. I wouldn’t say it’s offensive so much as just lazy when Anglos mispronounce, a sign that they refuse to acculturate to a culture which has been around there so much longer than they have. I do appreciate when Anglos like yourself make the effort. What does disturb myself and many other Latinos though, is when they see young Latinos start to imitate this way of speaking, as though the language which is part of their heritage is unimportant or deserving of mockery.
