The TikTok trend “why we can’t date outside our culture” has the Latine community sharing hilarious Spanish phrases that are too difficult to explain in English. 

The TikTok trend “why we can’t date outside our culture” has the Latine community sharing hilarious Spanish phrases that are too difficult to explain in English. BIPOC users are jumping in on the trend and jokingly stating their reasons why they can’t date outside their culture “as they share English translations of common Spanish-language phrases [they] grew up with that just don’t make sense when translated.” Because it’s too long or complicated to explain to someone outside their culture, they’d just rather not have to deal. For example, one TikTok features a Latina woman with text that reads, “I dated outside of my 🇵🇷 culture and now I have to think how I’m gonna explain to my American fiancé that the frog’s butt will heal today or tomorrow.” (Remezcla)
