David Gomez sez, "why shouldn't the white minority also become bilingual?"

Well, No. 1, because this is America and here we speak English. Bilingual? Like German, French, or more ominously, Chinese?

Oh, you mean Spanish? Whose Spanish? As an oil company rep I had one Helluva time being understood all points South, as I was taught Castillian Spanish. In Venezuela I tried to get a pack of cigars by asking for "cigarros". Nobody knew what I was talking about (one guy offered condoms) until another guy said "tabac".

In all of Latin America, Mexican is at the bottom of the linguistic hierarchy because it is "too dirty" (many Indian words). Ecuador is at the top as they are the closest to Castillian.

And Mr. Gomez wants to impose that kind of bilingual chaos on us? This country is not multicultural, it is multiethnic with ONE culture and ONE language.

Best summary I’ve seen of what I have often tried to say in a much less effective way.
