I don't think they want it either. Kinda like how mother birds reject their babies if a human touches it.I say let Mexico have Texas.
English is taught in public schools beginning in grade school in Germany.Perhaps you should spend your days of youth speaking English to only have people force a language not native on you as an adult. I am far from being a bigot, but I'll be God damned if I'd move to Germany and expect them to all speak English for me. Me having that view point doesn't make me a moron. It makes me have an opinion. Protesting is stupid, but f*ck you and your elitist Northeast attitude.
No there is not, but why should it be forced on anyone? I prefer French, so let's go with that one.English is taught in public schools beginning in grade school in Germany.
There is nothing wrong with being bilingual.
Maybe I'm a bit biased because my favorite Taqueria is staffed by cute Mexican waitresses.
You do realize that the woman bitching about people not speaking English misspelled "official" don't you?Perhaps you should spend your days of youth speaking English to only have people force a language not native on you as an adult.

Yes. That doesn't make everyone here stupid. She didn't spell it right in Spanish either. So what???You do realize that the woman bitching about people not speaking English misspelled "official" don't you?
I can't afford to eat at french restaurants often.No there is not, but why should it be forced on anyone? I prefer French, so let's go with that one.
I didn't say that it does. I've got a couple of good friends from Texas, and they're not idiots. Actually, they're not from Texas if you listen to Austin Bike, since they're both from Austin, but whatever. We're just poking fun, and you're taking things too seriously. Chill out man.Yes. That doesn't make everyone here stupid. She didn't spell it right in Spanish either. So what???
That dumb b1tch holding the sign apparently wants to force English on everyone...No there is not, but why should it be forced on anyone?
They only want to buy inner tubes. I don't think I need to learn Spanish to sell those.I can't afford to eat at french restaurants often.
And how exactly are you being forced to speak another language ?
I agree that " new comers " should learn English and our laws. But the fact is that the need to speak Spanish is driven by free enterprise. Many businesses see Hispanics as an opportunity to make money, so they advertise in Spanish. In the good ole US of A, the almighty dollar is king. Which is more effective, speaking your customer's language, or waiting for them to learn yours ?
Rubbero innero tubero'sThey only want to buy inner tubes. I don't think I need to learn Spanish to sell those.
I bet if you spoke Spanish and talked to them like you do every other customer that at least one of " them " would come back and buy something more than a tube, like a bike for his/her kid.They only want to buy inner tubes. I don't think I need to learn Spanish to sell those.

How much would you bet her great grand parents didn't speak English.I dunno, How can a place that was founded by people from ....uh....everywhere else have an official language?
Austin might not be, but it's residents still are Texans.That sign made me lolz.....and Austin is not Texas.
Technically, yes, but austin is ~80% transplants. Its really hard to find an actual austinite that has been here the whole time.How much would you bet her great grand parents didn't speak English.
Austin might not be, but it's residents still are Texans.
