How Modern Family's Gloria Has All the Answers For Your Interracial Relationship

Relationships can be a tricky thing, especially if we are talking about two people from completely different countries. Assuming you two have the language barrier covered (or at least hold common ground in that sense), the two of you would still come from different cultural backgrounds, habits, traditions . . . and the list goes on.

Taking a humorous approach can potentially help many situations interracial couples face, and Latinas in the United States have felt represented for years in Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, Modern Family's favorite Colombian, played by Sofía Vergara. Through the show's 11 seasons, Gloria has truly provided us with humor and the best comebacks for the everyday situations that arise in your interracial relationship.

When you're in a group conversation and you need their help to remember a word

Every time they tell you to calm down

Or that you should not be taking things so seriously

When they assume you're mad at your Latinx relatives after a phone call

Or don't understand your abuela's home remedies and tactics

Or don't understand your abuela's home remedies and tactics

When they try to make fun of your accent

Or when they just want to be a smartass

When they underestimate you

When you're so frustrated you don't know which language you're speaking

But at the end of the day, you see the best in them

And know you still have an advantage because you speak two languages

Thank you Gloria, you're full of wisdom!
