I hate it when people refer to people from Latin America as "Spanish people". They ARE NOT Spanish. Spanish people come from Spain.

haha I had a big argument the other day with my boss at work, when you see a girl who looks ethnic how do you know what country she is from? So you usually say that girl is spanish, it isn't techinically right but I consider Spanish a race, like Black, White, Asian, Spanish, etc... I hate when people get so picky about that, even my girlfriend who is Peruvian calls herself Spanish.

idc about these silly scenarios, speak english or get out.

Those scenarios are real, not silly, and sometimes speaking in a language that is different than English is needed. What I do think is retarded is if they know English, and then speak to an English speaker in a different language. As long as they're trying to learn English, I see no problem.

Hispanic or Latino yeah sure, but not Spanish. Spanish = Spain. That's like calling me English, just because I speak English.

Calling an American company in the US and having to hit "1" for English.

Ofcourse! Because every person in this country speaks English fluently as a first language.

What about Chinease people come over and English is not there first language?

People who talk about things when they dont know anything about it really pisses me off. Like was talking to this guy and he was trying to teach me about tea and he said that Tea was invented in England. Mayby little things but its just annoying

[ganggreen_ewok]

because we live in America, tourists...ok but not citizens.

You know what I call that? Fucktardation. And you wonder why alot of countries hate the US

By your logic we shouldn't be able to speak anything but english. That would outlaw the U.N., any foreign restaurants, and people of another descent. You sir, should reevalute your priorities. I bet you wouldn't say that to someones face when they are speaking another language

i have before and sure enough they have replied in english, dont get me wrong im not a racist or anything, what i said was that i cannot stand conversation of a foreign langue in public place. i dont work with mexican workers but i have noticed in my area they dont speak unless spoken to and its usually a 1 word answer which makes me beleive they dont know the english langue. but these people having a full blown out conversation in public in another langue can also speak english is something else i noticed.

I'll take a spin-off of the whole language thing from PenningtonPays. I find it really annoying if I'm talking with a couple of my Hispanic friends and we'll be talking about something in English and they'll say something to eachother in Spanish and not let me know what the hell they're talking about.

I had this kind of problem a ways back in high school. But it was different. These were a bunch of immigrant Polish kids who did nothing but cause trouble and act tough. At lunch they threw shit at you and crap just to be asswipes, and when you threw something back they would talk shit to you in Polish because they were too *beep* to say it to your face. Some of my football teammates and I couldn't take their shit anymore and just beat like 8 of them down. It was 3 on 8...yeah...real tough.

Then say that, if you find it rude. I took personal offense because alot of my family speak english as a second language, and speak spanish in public most of the time

like what really just bothers me is that they will be speaking in a different langue when they are waiting in line or waiting for a waiter at a table and than when they are at the register or the waiter comes they began to speak in english.

[HarlemHxC814]

Dude what's wrong with that? lol

soo.......

[UKJetsFan]

AS long as they aint talking to me in a different language people can talk in whatever language they like it doesnt bother me at all

[JetsOhFive]

Okay, put it this way. Lets say my friend and I learn Spanish and decide to move to Spain or go to study there for a year. Since English is our first language, when were talking to each other were obviously going to speak English. That's the language you're most comfortable with, when you can you speak it until you need to speak the other language.

You do have a one track mind. At least it's not a bad track.

2 tracks. don't forget about football

lol I'm reviving this topic from the dead. I just realized that sentence you said about other countries hating us. Most of the other countries that hate us are more intolerable of other languages being spoken than the native one. Take France. They hate the USA...but don't try to go there unknowing of the language, they'll look right down their nose at you.

But anyway I brought this up because I hear that alot of the Mexican immigrants that are coming here are trying to have signs put up in spanish. That's the most ridiculous thing in the world and I hope to god that it doesn't happen. If a bunch of americans immigrated to another country like Spain, Italy, Germany, France etc. and we tried to do that, they would laugh right in our face. If you wanna live here, get used to our way of life and learn English, our official language. We're not responsible to cater to you just because you don't feel like or cant grasp it.
