This is the USA not Mexico. If they want to be Mexican, then they need to go home. We speak English here, so you are doing fine.

I bet if u asked your grandparents to teach you a few things they would be so happy. Or ask someone else to help you learn a few phrases in spanish so next time they say something you can at least reply. To your grandparents it's about culture.. A lot of the culture is lost in our modern world and I know that older people always get upset that the culture will be lost all together, maybe study up on mexican culture and ask your grandparents about it, at least it's a topic starter and maybe a bonding point. Then you wouldn't feel so left out.

If you're living in the U.S., then be really happy you aren't "that mexican." Not really something to be envied...
But, who gives a damn what others think. Love what you got.
