Cuban denounces xenophobic treatment of a compatriot in Brazil: "There is no worse chip than the same stick"

A Cuban woman who is in Brazil denounced the xenophobic treatment she received from a compatriot in a market in that country.

"There is no worse chip than the one from the same stick," the user of TikTok identified as YaiCubaBrasil in a video shared on her account.

The event occurred last year, when she had just arrived in the country.

Upon entering the market, the young woman saw a cashier speaking in Spanish and from her accent she realized where she was coming from. When he went to pay, he asked him - in Spanish - to explain how a local campaign worked since he did not know how it worked.

"When she realized that I was Cuban, she looked at me and said: 'Excuse me, but I didn't understand what you told me,'" Yai said.

The cashier called a supervisor to help the young woman because she supposedly did not understand her.

"She thought she was intelligent, but I thought I was a little more intelligent than her, and I told the lady, in Portuguese: 'I really don't understand how she can say that she doesn't understand me if she is as Cuban as me'" , he detailed.

"At that moment I went completely crazy, because I said: 'how can people be that way with ourselves, who are from our country,'" she questioned in amazement.
