Fine, but why just target Spanish speakers? I'm done with this topic. Either you respect this nation's language and choose to speak it or you don't. If not, it is just dividing our country along linguistic lines. Seems like that is what some people want in here and it is mostly Hispanics and liberals who feel that way. The future of this country looks grim with millions of illegal alien Spanish speakers in it and other non-assimilating Hispanics. Enjoy your Hispanic utiopia in the future. Look south to what Mexico looks like for your enjoyment. I guess our native culture and language isn't worth retaining according to some and neither is the soveriengty of our borders. As I said, I am done with this topic.

Your assumption that all Spanish-speaking Texas residents are illegals is asinine. If you look at a map, any 4th grader would come to the assumption that Dallas is a long trip from the border for a free pizza.
The real issue is that the pizza chain only hires people who speak Spanish...so you CAN'T order in English anyway! Eat at any fast food restuarant in the West, Spanish IS the language.
"Pzza con jamon y queso, grande"
Not true. Go to an In N Out Burger and there are some "Hispanics" working there but their English is full on American with little or NO accent. Unless in a barrio; Spanish is useless in a resturant.
And it would kill you to learn Spanish? How hard is it to learn? Can't handle the challenge? Learning a foreign language stimulates and enriches the mind. It also helps stave off Alzheimer's, doctors say, for the geezerly set among us. What foreign language did you learn in highschool? What about college? You did go to college, didn't you?
Don't go there. Spanish ain't an important language unless talking about Hispanic countries. English IS important to know. It's just that many, NOT all, Hispanics have that "Latin" attitude the world revolves around them. The French have that same rep.
Yeah, heaven forbid you should bother to learn someone else's language. Immigrants have been catering to their own since this country was founded. Germans had their own delis, Russians have their own neighborhoods, restaurants and bookstores, Italians have "Little Italies". I never heard anyone complaining about any of them. Immigrant kids assimilate easily, but the elders have a tough time. And yet, no one complains about all the Russian and Polish speakers all over major cities who have never learned English.
MOST legal aliens want to become American. MOST ILLEGAL aliens don't. Most illegal aliens ARE Hispanic, period.
Maybe if some of those Americans spent the time to learn Spanish they could improve their job prospects, personal income and enjoyment of the world around them.
How can learning new skills be a bad thing? The US is now and always will be a bilinqual English/Spanish country.
Nope. MOST of the US is English. Even most of Arizona.
Pizza is an American food; the Italians don't have it. MOST "ethnic" foods here in the US have been changed for various reasons from where they supposedly came from. LOL
Being Italian your are most wrong. I know a bit about pizza history, having Italian ancestors.
The first true pizza was made in 1830 the first Pizzeria opened in 1830 and was called "ANTICA PIZZERIA PORT ALBA" in the great fine city of Naples.
As it happens the most famous name pizza was after Queen Marghetia of Italy, she walked into the Pizaioli, and when the Queen walked in, the pizzamaker called this pizza PIZZA MARGHERITA.
They also had the name for pizza lovers as "L'amore per la pizza"
I of course changed mine up. Homemade dough, thick crust, the freshest tomatoes, fresh ingredients, cheeses, meats, provolone, mozzarella, pepperoni, sasuage homemade. A pizza joint twenty years ago, wanted my pizzas and pasta sauce recipe. But wihout giving me any profit. A free dinner now and then. I don't think so, that was not a deal suited to my taste.
True italian pizzas are made simple and with fine ingredients. I don't feel like writing a book, but pizza became very popular in this Country.
When visiting Italy as we have, the pizzas are very good, with very fresh ingredients, but simply made. Pastas of all kinds are their other favorite dish.

All this is true - the point the poster you responded to was making, I think, is that most pizza in America(or at least what people are getting when they call Dominos or Pizza Hut) bears little resemblance to true Italian pizza. For real pizza, you have to go to an authentic pizzeria or Italian restaurant.
