Let’s give some straight talk here (insert condescending John McCain voice):
It is MORE racist to refuse to speak the language of the nation in which you are living, and hopefully thriving. Congressional Democrats like Pelosi and Reid, like most elite liberals, are so afraid of being labeled insensitive or racist that they lie in the face of facts. So typical and why, as a former Democrat, I left that party when I matured.
Speaking Spanish and Spanish only dooms one to failure, or at the best, mediocrity in America. And that is not racist either. Just as if I moved to my fiancee’s native Colombia and spoke English only, I’d have trouble succeeding. This is not a complicated issue at all. She and her parents moved here, like my great grandparents, and immediately learned English. Success followed.
I will say though, as someone who taught school in LA but now lives in the midwest, this is a major problem far more so in LA, NYC, Miami et al type towns than here. There are nearly 100,000 Hispanics in Indiana, growing at a more rapid rate than nearly anywhere in the nation. I have yet to meet one who does not speak English. It just makes sense. No one get coddled in real America.
