Question:
My question is why, when people emigrate to the states, some do not
want to learn the language. I accept that there is no official
language, but English is pretty much the dominant one. I have lived in
a couple of countries, France and Portugal, where English was not the
main language. Although the people there were very helpful at first,
they kind of expected a bit of their language from me after a while. I
got nothing but respect from them, even with my really bad attempts,
but I think I showed them that I respected them enough to learn their
language. Sure, some people treated it as a sign of stupidity not being
able to speak the language, but all in all most people respected it.
There seem to be a huge amount of people who are not interested in
integrating who have emigrated here. I work in construction and am
amazed that I can be around people all day and not hear any English.
Learning English does not mean you are American, I think it shows a
respect for where you are and the people of the country. If people are
scared of losing their identity, they are misinformed because no one
can take away your identity, you already are who you are. I learned
that when in Rome do as the Romans do is the surest way to success
wherever you go.
There are whole neighborhoods in Las Vegas where no English is spoken
and I have to say that these neighborhoods are not the safest. In
comparison a good neighborhood has mixes of all races and
nationalities, who are trying to integrate in what is already here.
They are not trying to recreate what they left behind.
I was always excited about the challenge of a new country, the food,
culture, language and humor of the people there. I would never dream of
pushing my country on them.
Answer:
You are referring to Hispanicks. It's because they are a tremendously
proud people and they see the USA as an extension of England, the hated
historic rivals of their absolute beloved Spanairds, and they feel
tremednosuly humiliated that the "Anglos" have whipped them in every
conceivable way to the point that they have to pay their life savings
to make an all-out desperate attempt to sneak into the USA. So to speak
English to them woudl be like conceding the "Anglos" beat the
Hispancks, somehting proud Hispanicks will never ever admit nor accept.
It woudl be to speak the langauge of the enemy, something macho
Hispanck pride will never accept.
The other thing at play is Hispanicks desperately want their own
speakie Spanish country that is a plyer on the world stage. Macho
Hispanick pride demands no less. But because they are not genetically
capable of creating their own successful country, what they conspire to
do is steal the USA from ther Anglos as show it off to the world as
their own creation and then expect the resulting adoration, which is
essential to macho Hispanick pride. Macho Hispanick pride will never
allow Hispanicks to take a back seat to anyone, especially not their
hated historic rivals, the "Anglos"
