ABC 13 news anchor Mayra Moreno was criticized for speaking two simple words in Spanish on the station's May 30 broadcast, calling her use of the Spanish language "Un-American."

The anchor and reporter, who works at ABC affiliate KTRK, refused to apologize and posted a photo on Twitter showing that she could care less that people were upset and was proud of her heritage.

"Apparently I upset some folks because I said #BuenosDias at 9am. Oops #SorryNotSorry I won't be ashamed of my culture," she tweeted.

Moreno took it a step further on Facebook and explained that some people were upset that she said "Buenos Dias," on Memorial Weekend.

‪”Some decided it was 'uncalled for and unAmerican' especially on ‪#‎MemorialWeekend, when we are supposed to honor those who died serving our country. Didn't realize that this day and age a simple 2-word phrase would upset some people. ‪#‎WeAreAllAmerican ‪#‎LetsStopTheHate ‪#‎HispanicsAlsoDiedForAmerica,” she wrote on the post.
