That's just why I want to conserve the US population as the world minority that it is and not be diluted and overpopulated by global mass immigration..
Well, OK. I fail to see how that relates to multi-language packaging though. Which is what I was responding to, because at least some folks here are complaining that multi-language packaging is being done for the benefit of non-english-speaking immigrants and is a sign of dilution and encroachment of our national culture. It isn't. In fact, multi-language packaging on say, a GE range, is a sign that american/western culture is encroaching on other countries.
Wasn't that long ago that France was trying to ban creeping americanisms from written French. I believe they've given that up as futile.
And to think we have people today asking "why are hispanics identifying as white?", as if that were something new. That is how they traditionally identified before they became "hispanics".
I have a DIL who was born in PR, and her grandparents immigrated from Spain. You can’t get more Hispanic than being from Spain, but she’s lighter skinned that I, and I’m swedish.
Anyway, I don’t understand why anyone needs to identify as anything. What’s the purpose?
As a black guy born and raised in San Antonio, Texas I have a unique insight to both minority groups.
America is most certainly going overboard to accommodate people of color. Especially when the success of Asian Americans has already proven people of color have more than enough resources and blueprint to make it in this world.
It’s simply a matter of black and Hispanic Americans looking at Asian Americans, and doing the exact same thing they’re doing. Working hard, pursuing education, studying marketable degrees, self-reliance and self-discipline, parental involment, and abiding by all laws.
The greatest trick liberals have ever pulled was convincing people of color they need government help to climb up the social ladder. Knowing damn well the government can’t get a bachelors or masters degree for you.
1. Hispanics come from a myriad of cultures, not just one.
2. English is not the language of North America. Learn about Canada please.
3. It is a good thing to be bilingual.
4. Perhaps Hispanics in some areas are overly catered to in comparison to others learning English but ultimately that works to your disadvantage in the U.S. In time, those who need to learn English will do so or remain at a lower level in society.
5. Again, it is good thing to be bilingual.

I don't think they can at the same rate as Asian Americans even if they wanted to and tried and are being boosted by affirmative action. And if they intellectual can but don't then that still impugns their character traits, decision making and judgement.

This is about Hispanics, not people of color in general.
There are more than enough successful people of African origin and Hispanic background to model after. There is no need to look at Asians and not all Asian groups are successful.
The U.S. has also done far too much to cater to whites over its history. Yet rather than take the actions above, many of them depend on the government while criticizing non-whites who do.
At the end of the day, there are simpy a good number of lazy individuals in the U.S. that need to get their acts together.

1. They're primarily coming from latin America and still foreign.
2. English is spoken in most of Canada but we're talking about America here.
3. No
4. So that's an argument against catering to Spanish and Hispanics.
5. Saying the same totally wrong thing twice doesn't make it right.
I am cracking up that someone would be so sheltered to even notice people speaking in a language other than English, much less be upset by it.
I’m guessing you don’t travel much?
Many people in their home countries are surrounded by natives speaking the native language. When you travel to a foreign country you expect to experience foreign things like language.

5. Saying the same totally wrong thing twice doesn't make it right.
1. That has nothing to do with my statement, which was that Hispanics come from a myriad of cultures.
2. The OP said North America and what you are trying to say is the United States of America.
3. And?
4. And again, it is a good thing to be bilingual. It’s only wrong to those who dislike putting effort into learning.
