and my response to it.

Ducky said that immigrants should learn the language in common use. I replied that by her logic, we should all be speaking Spanish and not English in California. I made no claim that Spanish didn't replace indigenous languages or that it was more legitimate than indigenus languages.

But it isn't a "wash" between Spanish and English because Spanish was spoken here long before English migrated here.
