Eddie: I'm interested in who this "locutor mexicano" was that gave the wrong information. If it was a woman, then it was Maria Antonieta Collins, who would then be a "locutora mexicana."
If it was a male, then it was Iñaki Berrueta, who, if the name doesn't give it away, is actually Spanish.
If you did make a gender error and it was Maria Antonieta, perhaps you also made a Spanish comprehension error regarding her statements, too. Just because she's not Spanish, doesn't make her ignorant to Spain's cultural sensitivities.
And I think someone else mentioned it, but Galicia has significant Celtic roots and history, even starting with the name, which translates into "Land of the Gaelic People." So I wouldn't call someone an idiot for making a connection.
