Why did 2/3 of the Anglos leave Miami--they got sick of hearing Spanish. Don't you people understand that? Even if Castro dies, you'll all still stay because you like all the freebies you get here!
Am I the "you all" "you people" you are referring to? For your information I don't get any "freebies" My family and I pay taxes, a LOT of taxes. Much more than the average American.

Second whatever happens to Castro is the least of my worries since neither my family or I have a Cuban citizenship.

Third, I'm not surprised by your generalizations about LatinAs, in fact I was expecting them. Most people that come here complaining about Spanish speaking end up showing their true colors by the second or third post.

This is a funny thread and if you have a problem with spanish in a certain area, just leave because complaining on a messageboard (or anywhere) will not and can't change anything because of a little thing called freedom of speech.

No one but Latinos speak Spanish in Florida. My ONLY problem with Latinos is that they continue to speak Spanish when they are AMERICAN citizens and have been given a wonderful opportunity here in the U.S.A. and don't appreciate it.

I hate to say it , but that is 100% true ... my job takes me around Latin America , The Caribbean and from time to time Asia ... I have spent time in Anglo expat communities in San Juan , Puerto Rico ( Dorado ) Guadalajara , Mexico , - San Jose , Costa Rica - Panama City , Panama and Bangkok , Thailand and have met many Anglo expats and their families , some going on ten years in their host countries and ...... surprise they do not speak a lick of the local language nor do they intend to and worse are upset when locals do not speak English , hang out in enclaves with other Americans , watch American TV , listen to American music , desperately seek and source Mc Donalds , Burger King and other American food venues and try and impose their lifestyles on the local people .... not saying this is good or bad ... but it certainly sounds like the behaviors that many of us non Hispanic whites constantly bash Hispanics for following

Stay in pristine , crime free , angelic Georgia and you will not have a problem precisely what makes this country great .... yes many are American citizens and are free to speak other languages besides English .... also the overwhelming majority of Hispanics that I know and are US citizens love the US and do appreciate it . You must associate with some pretty low rung Hispanics ??

You're entirely right. Any American citizen that speaks a foreign language should be stripped of his citinzenship. Such a wonderful opportunity!!!
