I live in El Paso where the population is predominantly mexican, i have been trying to get a job for weeks, but every job i apply for i get turned down because im not billingual. i have two kids to feed and the bills keep coming. it makes me so angry. why cant they get out and live in thier own country? they could make it like america if they like it here so much. im sure mcdonalds would open up a chain down there.
i dont think you idiots understand that in america the official language is english. and just because mexicans invaded shouldnt mean that i have to learn thier language to work.
I have seen Mexican nationals who are illegally in the U.S. quite openly shout racist slogans against the majority White population, with little or no reaction from the media.Yet White Americans who want to strengthen border controls against Mexico are denounced as racists.Minorites have their own advocacy groups, history months, radio & t.v. stations, & even their own leaders.White Americans are the ones facing racism with affirmative action denying us jobs, student loans, government contracts & entering certain schools.We are also called racists if we are proud of our culture.I think that some people believe that America's racist history against blacks justifies being angry at or hating white people.Sadly, White people have been repressed for so long that most people aren't willing to speak out about it.Minorities aren't responsible for the racial quotas system, or any of the double standards against White people.I mostly blame politically correct, guilt-ridden, candy @ss, White liberals.
While searching on the internet, I've noticed that there is a large Spanish speaking population in certain states (cities, towns) like the ones I've mentioned, along with the state of Florida. Some employers state that Spanish speakers are a must in order to gain employment. So, for people who live in these states, can you tell me how necessary it is to learn fluent Spanish.
I live near Miami, and the majority of the population either speaks spanish, is rude, or speaks rude spanish lol. I just want to be able to say this to them to get my point accross! (they came here from 'wherever' because it's better, but refuse to learn the language?!?!?!)
Go read this, you'll see why it p*isses me off.

And "bella" and "come break me down", you're both idiots. There are Immigration laws for a Reason.
Mr.Inquisitor.
You're one of the people I'm upset with. Yes, I realize I'm in miami and that I'm the minority here, but you fail to get it through your obviously brick-thick skull that Miami is a part of the UNITED STATES, in which ENGLISH is the national language. Would you move to Germany and expect it's residents to cater to your language deficiency? I think not.
I'd really love for you to read my blog (link above). And feel free to spout some more horse-s*hit at it. I won't even waste my time deleting it. I'd like eveyrone who reads it to see the fault in your reasoning.
I have a job interview this week at a retail store. I live in a city with a high population of Spanish speakers with many who only speak Spanish. I have worked retail here before and it was definitely a hindrance. That employer never asked if i spoke Spanish however, assuming I did since I'm Hispanic.
I'm concerned this employer will ask however. If they do ask, how can I respond in a way that makes it seem like less of a handicap?
In Europe, Spanish is absolutely in a stronger position than Portuguese. In USA, the most popular foreign language is latin-american Spanish, especially Mexican style, because there're a lot of Mexico immigrants in USA. & In latin-america, people speak latin-american Spanish, it mainly includes Mexican, Argentine, Chilian style, & In Brazil, people speak Brazilian Portuguese, which sounds softer & more nasal than Spanish, & it shows some similarities to that of French. Brazil's been working to develop its economy and resolve societal problems, Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America, the fifth largest country by geographical area, & its population comprises the majority of the world's Portuguese speakers. Brazil is the largest national economy in Latin America, the world's tenth largest economy at market exchange rates & the ninth largest in purchasing power parity. If you had to choose between Brazilian Portuguese & Spanish, which would you prefer to learn?
