    I'm not anti-hispanic but pro-American. I love the fact that our country is a melting pot but you should still learn to speak the language of the country you're living in. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Thats half the fun of living in another country, having to learn to deal with a different culture and the language barriers that come along with it. That being said, I hate working with bitches that have lived here for 10 years but cannot speak english; especially since I've picked up a decent spanish vocab working alongside mexicans for the last 7 months. I'd rather see them try and learn the language and bastardize it like I do with their language than just be content with mediocrity and ignorance.

    I think this is pretty stupid for the business but it's a private business so he should be able to do whatever he wants.

    i understand that, and as u can tell i have done my part lol. their community is so big that they can live along fine without ever learning any english. but in like 1000 years from now, we will probably all speak the same language and use the same currency.

    i think its smart because im sure the conversion rates they are using are not completely fair. like when u go to the airport and u want another form of currency, there is usually like a 2% fee. plus look at all the media coverage he is getting.
