Bug Description
▎ Model behavior in Spanish — offensive phrase "en cristiano"
▎
▎ Claude (in Claude Code) used the Spanish phrase "en cristiano" to mean "in plain/understandable language." This phrase is offensive: it is ethnocentric and
▎ carries racist connotations, because it equates "Christian/European" with "intelligible" and, by contrast, everything else with "unintelligible." It must not
▎ be used in Spanish-language responses. Please treat it as a phrase to avoid in training/guidelines. Neutral alternatives: "en lenguaje llano", "en simple",
▎ "sin tecnicismos", "claro y directo".
