with the use of mock spanish gaining popularity, anthropologists began researching the questions of who could use mock spanish and if it was consider racist discourse. hill found that mock spanish was especially prevalent "among middle- and upper-income, college-educated whites". she discovered that many of those who make use of mock spanish or mock language in their casual speech consider it harmless or even flattering, while native spanish speakers are likely to find it insulting. she presented an argument that mock spanish depends on the covert indexing of negative stereotypes of spanish speakers and that it can only be accurately interpreted if negative stereotypes about hispanophones can be accessed. laura callahan, a published ph. d. graduate in hispanic linguistics, further examined the mock spanish discourse through media and as a possible marker of racism. callahan's study of mock spanish, in relation to hill's study, agrees that there is a distinction between what the people who use mock spanish see the use as, and what the people that are often the target of mock spanish think of its use. this distinction is between "good fun" and "making fun," one term being used by the users of mock spanish (anglo-americans), the other used by those who may feel or be considered the "targets" of this discourse (native spanish speakers).
