One of my friends just gave out to me for what I did in class or better yet, what I didn't do.
I've just finished teaching an English camp in Spain for a month to students between 16&17. In one of the classes, the topic of gays and immigrants came up. At this point, they started saying nasty things in Spanish, like, "Los maricones son una sunor**les, los sudacas y los putos negros de mier** deben volver su propio país." Something like, (gays are crap and blacks and wetb**ks need to go home.) When they pressed on, I told them, it was THEIR country and if they really felt that way, they just had to vote for the politicians that supported their views when the time came. Then I continued with a grammar lesson.
My friend says I messed up, but I think I was there to teach English, so I did my job, plus I know that Spaniards aren't into political correctness so who am I to correct what they say in their own language?
What would you have done?
