I have no problem if the store is privately own. How the store operates is up to the owner but I think large store chains that are founded in the US and on US soil should be in english only.

Discuss.

Go to Koreatown in Los Angeles. And then STFU.

I hadn't realized the US had two official languages... I should start watching more news and following politics

Reminds me of a news report I saw of a shop in California [I think] which had a Mexcian flag flying above a U.S. flag on the same flag pole. The report showed someone tearing down the Mexican flag...

No one has said the US has 2 official languages as far as I know, way to be an asshole :roll:

I didn't realize the US had even one official language😕

We don't. English is the de facto language of the U.S., but it's not official by law.

Not sure if it's accurate, but someone once told me that most Americans spoke German when it first gained Independence.

:laugh: No, that's not correct at all. Most of the early settlers were English with some French and Dutch.

Soon English will be a second language and Spanish will be the primary language. Wassup with that?? Every where you go its English and Espano. Soon it will be Espano and English.

Language is culture. Check out Mexico and see how that culture worked out.


Put simply: a country/culture that has to export its population in order to remain economically viable isn't much tbh.

they aren't exporting their population to be 'viable' their population comes here because they can earn far, far more money.

When crap like this spills on the page, I feel fully justified in referring to you as an old fashioned bigot.

I suppose if all I did was assume and not think or ask questions I'd have that opinion too.

I am not. I grew up in Minnesota, during the time in which it was the most racially diverse state in the Union (am not sure about today). I grew up with ultra-liberal parents in a bleeding-heart liberal suburban school system. I too learned all the crap about how we are all equal and America is a melting pot and yadda yadda yadda. I bought into all of it. Because I was young and the first lessons we learn are the ones that stick with us, especially if they are explained in some manner that makes sense (to a 2nd grader).
Then I left home and joined the real world. Now I dont think like that, I think for myself. I worked hard to get things in life and I learned NOTHING in this world is equal. Everything is just a little bit different and that means none of it can ever be equal. America has never been a melting pot. Even different groups of whites used to oppress each other. Immigrants kept to themselves unless they had money and then they tried to act like generic white people. This holds true for whites, blacks and everyone else. It holds true today.

And the government reports that we have 11 million illegals running around right now, 10 million of which are Mexican. Not the KKK or the Nazis, the U.S. government. The same government that continually wants us to believe everything is alright and we should just sit back & relax. They never want us to take any problem seriously, yet the one thing they are open about is the amount of illegals we have. That same government granted amnesty back in the 80's and all that did was open the flood gates.

I dont know what other points I have to explain:
- The effort to make everything Spanish? Do you really think its for the Spainyards immigrating legally? How many of those can there possibly be? No. Its for the Mexicans. I dont even know how someone could argue against that.
- Latins taking over in the next generation? Thats been theorized since the 90's and accepted as probable since around 2000 or so. Many government agencies and independant study groups agree on it.

Why am I bigoted? Because I face the facts? Because I talk about ugly things? Because you dont agree with me? Because I'm a white male and everything I say is automatically wrong?
That last one seems to be the default answer, because no one else can come up with a real reason.
