Maybe it’s just me, but even having taken years of spanish in school (by choice, mind you) I wouldn’t insult a spanish speaker and American citizen by butchering their language. Criticize the article sure, but damn. He’s well-spoken and legal, show some respect.

My comment wasn't meant as a an insult - nor was my Spanglish.
I am thinking your comments about the gentleman being "well-spoken and legal" might be seen by some as patronizing.
I'm not going to say that, you've clearly shown your desire to speak out regarding what might be an insult here...but some might view them as that way.

Having lived in so cali for 13+ years in my past...be thankful I didn't address the gentleman as " S'Up Esse'"...which, of course would be out of place in such as well presented post...and I would certainly never do.
