Reply to comment by Eager_Question in How Morality Changes in a Foreign Language - fascinating ethical shifts come with thinking in a different language by fonliahea1994

I'm learning Spanish from English and part of this, I think, is that certain PC language-isms in English don't appear in Spanish. Things are said much more bluntly, without much care put into "offensive" vocabulary. As such, my English brain tells my Spanish brain it's being racist, even if it's not.
