It just occurred to me, the housekeeper was speaking and thinking in spanish, not french. Not that a woman from Spain couldn't work in france, but this situation does feel more likely in America

I hope you are aware that Spain has a border with France. That both are IN the EU, with free travel and work between countries? Yeah, it's actually quite common to find people of any of the EU countries working in other EU countries.

Well, that was the least weird thing in that multiverse version of Paris.

Peace :)

"more likely" is a phrase that should never be used for this VN......
Do you enjoy poking holes in my ideas? Is that it?

Oh I'm well aware, just it still left like the american media sterotype of having a mexican/spanish woman as a housekeeper, so it just left a little off for that sterotype to be happening in France even if it's very possible in reality

I had an Italian (& a Tunisian) maid, last hotel I stayed in, in Paris.
Spain borders France, I don't think it's unlikely.

What I do think is unlikely, is finding a beach in Paris.

lol I get where you're coming from, but I think the standard US maid stereotype is probably Mexican, or South American, rather than Spanish?
Spanish speaking, yes. Spanish, from Spain, not so much a US thing, to the best of my knowledge.

Still, I was far more distracted by Paris suddenly becoming a seaside town, with a beach. :LOL::ROFLMAO:
The city is 170km\105 miles from the nearest beach.

Well, have to say I am with S1nsational on that, Spanish speaking, super religious stereo type fits pretty well. Doesnt really matter if she is from Mexico or a different Spanish speaking country. But yeah, it really adds up with the bail and beach in Paris. I at least thought it was hilarious :ROFLMAO:

But I think it's most likely because that's what Moonbox knows to do best :ROFLMAO: It's probably not likely he can just throw out that scene with French or Polish in it.

She's from Spain. A neighbouring country of France.
I think this is purely differentiation between Spanish speaking & Spanish.
Quite a lot of South American countries are Spanish speaking, none of them are Spain.
A number of them are portrayed as the stereotypical US maid. None of them are from Spain.

I expect that people from any of the nearby countries will have no issue with seeing a Spanish maid (not a Spanish speaking, but actually from Spain) in Paris, or anywhere else in France.
I'm guessing that you're not European?

Even though it goes against your argument (sorry), I wish there were Spanish maids here in the UK :ROFLMAO:

I am German. I know that there is a difference between Spanish speaking and from Spain etc. I don't have a problem with it, like I said and I know its very likely for a Spanish maid to work in a French hotel, it just fits with the other "mistakes/sterep types". Like I said I found it pretty hilarious.

And you're a bit focused on the part of Spanish speaking and not from Spain. In this context it doesn't really matter cause it's just the stereo type of Spanish speaking maid doesn't matter which country it is from.

lol I'm from UK, too.
Was thinking that most cleaner jobs over here are not taken up by English women.
My last memory of staying in a UK hotel, was an Eastern European maid, unsure of nationality.
But, having had an Italian maid when in Paris, one from Spain doesn't seem any sort of stretch, to me.

It does matter.
Spanish speaking is used to describe people from nations other than Spain, which use the language.
Spanish is someone from Spain. Not the same thing.
The maid was Spanish. People are describing & associating her with a stereotype which uses Spanish speaking. A different thing.
Spain borders France. It is not, in any way, unlikely to see Spanish people working in France.
None of the other Spanish speaking countries do, most are on a different continent, an ocean apart. It is considerably more unlikely, to see a South American, Spanish speaking maid.
Basic proximity gives that.

I now will assume what S1nsational meant..
In that context it didn't matter,
I AM AWARE THAT IN THE US THE STEREO TYPE IS SPANISH SPEAKING. And I assume S1national is aware too.
What we meant is the whole Paris trope. No smog in Paris, the Eifel Tower is dark and not over run with tourists, the beach in Paris, the cop using a women being topless as a threat :ROFLMAO:, using a bail system AND THEN going on to a Spanish speaking super religious maid. Doesn't matter if it was in LA, London, or even MADRID. I would still say that. And it's not a complain, it's just something that just fits :LOL: and stood out.
