Topic: One weird thing about the Texas senate race I haven't heard anyone comment on

Meta !Sober//iZs started this discussion 7 years ago #80,396

The Irish guy tries to make his name sound more Hispanic (Robert becomes "Beto"), and the Cuban guy tries to make his name sound less Hispanic (going by "Ted" instead of Rafael).

They really should just legally trade names.

why not just go by roberto
is it pronounced rob - air - toe in spanish
i like seeing how people pronounce names differently in english vs the language the name is in when they speak both languages
because it's rub-air-toe in italian but italianspeaking people still just say rob-ur-toe in english

The other weird thing: all the white Texans were voting for the Hispanic candidate and all the Hispanic Texans were voting for the Irish candidate

You don't live in Texas, and a quick google search shows they were pretty close. So, I'm forced to believe you're just some jackass assuming knowledge.
