The majority of Californians vote for non-English speaking illegals to be educated in California, have health care in California, and find 'sanctuary' in California. Of course, I think "English speaking Californian's like it".
Actually, no. There was a proposition that was passed by Californians years ago denying an education to illegal aliens and some liberal judge over turned it. Yes, there are some loony liberal native English speaking Californians that are up for this nonsense but not sensible, law abiding ones.
My parents did not do me any disservice speaking their native language in our home. Rather, it enhanced my ability to learn other languages. We barely spoke English in the house growing up, yet my brother and I are both fully assimilated, possibly with higher levels of proficiency in English than many others whose families have been in America for generations. And if you happened to talk to me on the phone? You would think you were talking to a white chick with a vaguely midwestern sounding accent.
Don't make assumptions about people. Go beyond your bubble and get to know immigrants and their families on a personal level. You will find a lot of your assumptions debunked rather quickly.
And? What's the problem with that? I'm not gonna stop speaking Spanish in my house, or among other Spanish speakers just to make some white guy somewhere that has never heard of me comfortable
so what? People can speak whatever they want within their own homes. Or should we spy on them to make sure they only speak a certain language & adhere to basic propaganda?
In public it is preferable to be able to communicate in English, but at home, it is not my business.
OP took the first shot with the flyover comment. Theme be fighting words.
I am surprised the thread wasn't about obese Californians that don't speak English with hepatitis because of the opioid crisis.
OP is predictable. We get it, you hate anything California or liberal for that matter. You live a perfect sheltered life in Nebraska. There is a reason Nebraska is flyover country.
I have always said I don't care what language one chooses to speak at home. However, it is an indication that they have no interest in making English their primary language of usage. Just saying.
So what! As long as they can speak English what business is it of yours if they choose to speak another language at home or out and about while talking to their family and friends. Some of you Nativists opinions are ridiculous including yours.
No surprise. Calif. is infested with illegal aliens and other Hispanics who either don't want to learn English or can and won't speak it as their primary language of usage.
Yeah, let's gas them to death. Infestations need to be eradicated. MAGA
