«They’re being hit too hard. They were sincere but perhaps struggled to articulate themselves properly,» Pee Wee added.

Rather judging them harshly, Pee Wee suggested educating them.

«Let’s not be harsh. These kids are starting to navigate the realm of entertainment and interviews,» he empathized.

He added that time and experience will equip them with better responses, citing his own struggles with Spanish at the start of his career.

«Being honest doesn’t justify a lack of courtesy; they are mature enough to know what to say and what not,» said one commenter.

«Mr. Pee Wee, let’s uphold respect within the Latino community. The disregard for Mexican culture is evident in her expression,» another user weighed in.

«Let’s avoid comparisons. Education matters, and it’s not just about language or food preferences,» argued another.
