(17,931 posts)....there's 2.5 billion Chinese and Indians who might dispute that. 500 million + who speak Spanish as their native tongue.
Oh, and I just love the "come here for free stuff" lie, when signing up for "free stuff" is a one way ticket to ICE detention and deportation. Many won't even contact the police when they've been robbed, assaulted, etc. for fear of deportation. Sometimes avoid medical care for the same reason. So the alternative to starvation in the land of plenty is to work like dogs in menial, sometimes exploitive labor, because as bad as it is, it's still better than back home. Even if you have to put up with occasional assholes like that wanker.
Just goes to show that hateful, ignorant fucks come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

(1,325 posts)I live on a part of the southern border where Spanish was spoken for about 250 years before English came to town. And most of the people here speak both. I have no problem with people speaking Spanish - my only question is why don't more Americans learn another language? The cognitive dissonance exhibited by this 'merikan "lady" is stunning to see - but not uncommon.
Hey lady - why don't you learn to speak politely to people you fear? What a tool. Bet her kids are truly ashamed that "mommy" has gone off the rails again.

(455 posts)after the video went viral. Of course she has been claiming that she (and the things she said) cannot possibly be racist because she has some hispanic blood.
Yeaaaah, lady, that ain't how it works.

I can understand wanting newer immigrants to assimilate but what the hell. It doesn't come overnight. People need to live somewhere for a while and get citizenship and careers and whatnot. Plus who defines American culture anyway? The melting pot has always been adapting as new cultures joined in. That's the story of America more than most anywhere else.
