Thanks for the clip! It appears that she only speaks it when she is mad and when her dad is in town :)

All of this is for footnotes in my paper, which is about blackness on GA.

I'm trying to make an argument that they have assimilated Callie into the white world of Seattle Grace Hospital and that the show rarely addresses or incorporates her ethnicity into the show. I also get to write a long footnote about how her sexuality has been addressed more than ethnicity starting when she was the "hot Latina" stereotype with George.

Cuba? Interesting. That will be a fun footnote about how they have mentioned it but off-screen.

and THANKS so much for all the posts!
