You are soooooo incredibly right! I want to publicly apologize for my ignorance! I was busy online all night trying to educate myself! Well, first of all, I was misinformed! I do understand that there are different dialects within the spanish language.....A friend of mine suggested the name Oni to me...He's cuban...
I am sooooooooo sorry! When I mentioned to quite a few Mexican spanish speakers about the word "Oni", they all would ask me did a native spanish speaker tell me this..I of course said yes, (since spanish is not my native language), and also shared that my friend was Cuban, the response was "Go figure or that figure".... So, I do also understand that there is conflict with Spanish speakers who are not Mexican not wanting to ever be mixed up nor confused with being Mexican for it's insulting....Well, I have no idea since I am not of those ethnic groups of people nor a spanish speaker...
It's clear that there is a large population of Mexicans in California so therefore that's why I made the reference....I am however not in any shape, nor form racist! Again, I do humbly apologize for my being misinformed! Oni, by the way is "honey" in Yoruba! Which in fact is an African word!
