Example: several of my former coworkers are from Mexico, Peru and Argentina, meaning they share Spanish as a common language.

I used to practice Spanish with them, but my last charge (like a ward’s manager) would yell at us to stop it, use English only. She would get very angry really fast if she heard anything in a language she didn’t understand.

I find it stupid, because some of them would use Spanish to better explain to the new nurses how to do certain procedures, but maybe I’m missing something?

    You’re forgiven. Try to add to the conversation from the beginning next time, otherwise it looks like you’re disagreeing that this is an instance of racism and exerting power over workers

        Yes, after the fact. Your use of “context” without justification implies that OP’s specific situation, in an alternate context, would be fine, not that an alternate situation may be different.

            Good move. Yeah this back and forth is pretty silly, like it’s not that serious lol. We got what you meant.
