Maybe people are going too far.

There are many Americans upset with this, "you have to know Spanish and English to get a job" here in America. I see it in meetings in Cal, blacks raging over not being able to get jobs because they are not bi-lingual. You shouldn't have to be in America. You see this in all communities. The more companies push this the more people will complain. Having a few is one thing, requiring it is another.

This fear of the 'other' is becoming a mental illness with some people. Some people are really susceptible to psychological manipulation, probably because they are insecure to begin with. On a large scale, it can be catastrophic. People like that can easily be led into destructive behavior.

Your xenophilia is equally disturbing. It indicates you are easily manipulated and insecure. It also indicates that you can be led into destructive behavior. Thankfully, you don't live here.

Good grief. Do you really think that someone who loses his mind because he happens to hear people speaking a language other than English is stable? Does speaking Spanish or any other language immediately imply that you are an illegal alien? Everyone in America doesn't have English speaking roots. America expropriated part of Mexico in 1848, for crying out loud. Hispanics are part of the fabric of America's beginnings. Don't go to Pennsylvania or you might hear Dutch being spoken. Stay out of Louisiana, because many there speak French. Polish may be spoken in Buffalo. Stay out of Chinese restaurants or any ethnic food establishment. Don't go into little Italy in New York City.

You lose your mind every time you smell a hint of intolerance in the air. It's quite disturbing. You should seek help.

My mind isn't lost. The notion that hearing Spanish spoken triggers xenophobia in a country with such a large Spanish speaking population is ridiculous. Spanish is all but the 2nd official language in America.

Sorry, but I find xenophiles, such as yourself, just as irrational as xenophobes. You're just the flip side of the same crazy coin.

Spanish is the language of the poor, Dr. Who. Fluency in English is very important here. I suspect that's also true for most of Canada.

I didn't watch it but I know the Taiwanese guy that just became a citizen last year had to speak and write simple English to pass.

I stand corrected. I haven't met an immigrant going through the citizenship process for a few years.

You, sir, are awesome.

You, sir, are awesome.

Except that I am not a sir, unless we are in some militaries. I am female.

I think the opposite is true. The destructive behavior and being easily manipulated is not something people that have rational thinking have to worry about. It is the people who are constantly being fed racist bs and believe it all without question who go out and do extreme and rediculous things. I will admit, there are alot of people, like antifa, who are the polar opposite, and they are fanatical about being anti-racist. But, again, it's because they lack the capacity to clearly see what is happening that they go out and do dumb sh*t.
