yeah there are some "racist" thoughts in there, but i know where he is coming from.
his thinking = i grew up in this country learning english, why should i have to learn spanish with all these people coming in, I have been here longer. my relatives when they came to this country in the 1800's had to learn english. when in rome do as roman's do or get the fuck out.

When my mother came to the states she taught herself English, then when the time came she took her citizenship test in English without anybody translating for her. She spoke English better than most people around her, albeit with a European accent. She despised people who would not try to learn English, and her philosophy was pretty much "You are here in America, speak English or get out."
