Is it normal to really hate it when people speak spanish in the store?

I find it rude if people can speak English but choose to speak a different language in my presence thus excluding me from the conversation.

I don't care if a customer is speaking Spanish. What I can't stand is when I used to go to Walmart. An employee would speak in English but it was so hard to understand over the PA system. They shouldn't be allowed to talk over it. EVERYONE needs to understand.
A friend of mine is German. She went to DMV once and demanded to see the German translation of their booklets. She speaks perfect English, but tried to prove a point that the US caters to the non-English speaking people.
My children were ignored in school because the teachers spent so much time with the other kids that couldnt speak English. Not just me, but other parents complained also. We were told to get a tutor. They didn't care.
If you move to a country that you don't understand the language, please learn the language.
I think it's great to have more than one language. Just dont live here for 20 years and still say "yo no hablo ingles".

So war isn't longer hard work? America has freedom because we earned it. If Mexico has all sorts of drug issues, that's their problem. If you want to come into our country go through the regular process - I have no respect for anyone coming into this country illegally.

I don't like it either. And most of the people I hear discussing it also hate it. We have had business' close down and entire neighborhoods vacate because the presence of illegals was so vast that the rest of the town stayed away. Thankfully, that drew enough attention that all the illegals got deported...we still have immagrints but they are legal and have been here for ages and everyone knows them and it's not a big deal...but it was bad here for a time and the behavior was out of control....I'm sure you think I'm lying or uptight but that honestly is not the case. We are a rural town about 15 miles from the next big town... Small and quiet...the sidewalks roll up at dark lol...for some reason it got over run with illigals a few years back...we had our first murder in a decade (a knifing over a card game in a trailer full of illigals) more followed three more that year all in the illegal community...suddenly drug busts fights and thefts along with various forms of assault and damages.....it was in the paper constantly, plus guys drinking and hanging out on steet corners at all hours....obviously it wasn't every single member of the community but it's was bad...anyway a task force came in and started busting...also we went from a police force of 3 to upwards of 8 and the county got more involved...it was a mess. Maybe, because it had such a huge impact here it set my mind...

hahaha... You better start learning spanish, ese. especailly if you live in LA.

I had to take a bus to work for a while, and on some mornings the whole fucking bus was speaking Canto (chinese dialect).

Sure, it's a piss off -I'm white and i know just a few words here and there, but mostly just gives you a headache.
But what can you do? We live in a multicultural society, take it or leave it, but there is no need to be a racist about it.

Oh, and America is a continent, not a country. Where most of the countries speaking spanish, so be a good neighbour and stop whining.

Well, I'm not Mexican but Spanish is my first language. You can't hate someone for something they don't know. And, talking in general, no matter what language it's a personal choice and basically what freedom of speech is based in. You're free to say you hate it, they're free to do it, whether you love it or not.

Is it your store?

¿Qué hay de malo en ello?

So basically Native Americans should hate all white English speakers?
Let people speak what they want to speak; and as for illegal immigration, the moment you realize that people on the other side of the border are humans, and basically immigration involves this notion that you have to stay in the system you were accidentally a part of, just cause, unless you benefit the other system, is fucked up, is the moment you stop being stupid.
My best friend is an illegal immigrant. Her mum went through awful shit and she was never allowed into the States.
If they would have stayed there, they'd be dead. All because of something they had no control over.
I'm happy, even if she did take up some lazy American's job.

So, if someone is speaking spanish in a store..they're automatically an illegal immigrant?

Last I heard, there was freedom in Mexico too. In fact, most of the world has some form of it.

If you buy, steal,invade or take the half of China, it is going to be a high possibility to have 500 to 700 millions of Chinese people, don't try to find blonde people speaking English.

I love how you seem to think saying "I don't hate Mexicans in Mexico" will convince people that you're not racist.

I am not saying I think all Mexicans are illegal immigrants, I'm just saying there is a fine line between speaking you native language and being rude about it.

Well, you're not out any effort for making this country free so it shouldn't bother you.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist. Why do you assume everybody who speaks Spanish is an illegal immigrant?

You don't know these people, so how do you know they're illegal immigrants? And as you stated, it IS a free country, so they have the right to speak their native language to each other. They just need to know how to communicate in English, so as long as they can do that, no need to be annoyed.

It's their choice to speak spanish.
Hence freedom.

¿Qué "trabajo duro" has hecho por tu libertad? Usted dice que son ingratos por la libertad que tenemos aquí. ¿Qué pasa con la libertad de hablar en español si así lo desean?

(What "hard work" have done for your freedom? You say they are ungrateful for the freedom we have here. What about the freedom to speak Spanish if they wish?)

There it is it of. No es de donde se de los españoles que dicen y lo hará cuando sea bajo el techo que está viendo de lo horrible.

Still, look at how cray cray shit is down in Mexico. Drug cartels just dumped off a massive amount of bodies of people they killed on some highway down there a few months ago. Cartels that we created and support with our War on Drugs. I cannot judge illegal immigrants, because everyone will do what it takes to survive, many of them are honest people trying to give their families a better life, some of them had to leave their families to come here. I won't judge, because I've never been in a situation like that.

But if we really want to stop the illegal immigration problem, it would help if we ended the War on Drugs that is feeding the massive amounts of crime in the south. Do you know how much of the weed in the U.S. comes from Mexico? I don't even have a number, but end the foolish prohibition, and you'll stop turning ordinary people into criminals, fueling all these negative stereotypes that you hear about so much.
