The Hillary campaign is making an effort to reach out to Spanish speakers. She has an entire version of her site in Spanish, a Spanish-only Twitter account, and even her original account has tweets en español mixed in.
Donald's campaign seems to be strictly English-only.
Hillary is reaching out to one of the fastest growing demographics of Americans.
Donald is demonizing and scapegoating one of the fastest growing demographics of Americans.
Tim Kaine's choice of VP was a smart move by hillary and his ability to speak spanish fluently is a major plus, and all but sews up Florida for her. And without winning Florida the guy with the funny hat is toast!
Why is Tim Kaine not allowed to speak Spanish, especially in the most Spanish-heavy part of the U.S.? I don't get it.
More than 60% of Miami-Dade households speak Spanish at home. What is so wrong with this??
Probably the complaints are by people who have no language skills. They are intimidated by people who are multilingual. I speak four languages (two with accentless native fluency), and speak another language at home too. If people don't like it, they can go to hell. I scored in the top 2% on the SAT English section, despite being foreign-born.
My kid will be speaking Spanish and German (wife is Latina I am German) as well and we may put him in a French immersion school too.
I think so, and ironically that attitude is probably one of the reasons why Americans are so monolingual. So many of them freak out the slightest exposure to them like foreign words are the plague or something. Yet exposure is an essential part of learning a language, in my experience (I speak 2 other languages myself).
Someone, not sure who, asked why Kaine would speak in Spanish to a majority Hispanic audience. After reading this thread I believe it was all a scheme to give CD posters something to whine about on a beautiful weekend.
Could you all please, at least pretend to stay on topic? Or better yet, skip the thread entirely.
