Freedom of speech.
My wife and I often switch to her native language when in public. That helps to keep our conversation semi-private. If someone doesn't like that we do that, I will invite them to kiss my azz. I had a friend at work who started learning the language. We spoke it together on our breaks. Don't like that we are doing it, then stop trying to listen in.

Uff. Idiots.

One day I was moving a patient upstairs and I was speaking to her in Spanish. Those were the “Freedom fries” years. So this nosy lady complained out loud that this was ‘merica and we needed to speak English. I glared at her and crisply informed her that we were speaking in Spanish because I can speak more than one language. I assured her we weren’t talking about her because she wasn’t that important. I asked her to “kindly mind your own business”.

So glad I don’t have to deal with that BS anymore.

Good for you

People need to mind their own business.

If the Spanish speakers are legal then such a threat shouldn't bother them.

I love it when I use to go bid work and the homeowners would be from Asia. They would never think some Redneck would know Cantonese.
I'd hear them talking ****, thinking this dumb Redneck doesn't know what we are saying. Never bothered me, I just added onto the bid. finished the work collect the check and then rattle off a the good byes and thankyou's in Cantonese. They would just look at each other immediately. Bai bai......

Don't get me wrong. I don't speak it fluidly. But know enough to be dangerous. Of coarse all the bad words and phrases..... Dad!
