What do you do when you want something from someone you can't beat up?  You kiss their as_s, right?\n\nWhat do you do when you want something from someone you can beat up?  You beat them up.  \n\nSo, they think they can intimidate us into giving them what they want.  Well, they're SORELY mistaken.  I'm fairly liberal, and I might have been cool about this, but they made a serious mistake when they started DEMANDING these things.\n\nAnd the lack of assimilation is ridiculous.  They're chanting things in Spanish that the citizens, those who vote for the freaking representatives and senators, can't understand.  This is extremely disrespectful.  They've won themselves over, but they've turned the rest of us away.

I think you are a paranoid and racist dweeb. If you cannot understand the language, then do not assume. Also, do not assume legal status by the language spoken. There are too many examples out there that prove YOU wrong for saying that. Get over your stuck up self.

Screw 'em.  Why should you be afraid to display your own flag, in your own country, for whatever reason you choose?\n\nI don't know if the Mexicans who are breaking windows with the flag are legal or illegal; as far as that goes, I don't even know if they are in fact Mexican. I don't know if they were trying to make a political statement or if they just wanted to destroy something.  Furthermore, I don't care.  All of that is beside the point.  What I do know is that they are thugs, trying to intimidate people through force and violence, and jail is where they belong.\n\nSome of these answers scare the heck out of me.  Why should you display a Mexican flag, if you have no particular allegiance to Mexico?  Further, why should you give a good flying flip at a donut WHO does not like America overseas?  THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY.  You are an AMERICAN.  And the idea that you should have to be afraid to display YOUR flag in YOUR country for ANY reason is sickening.  Take pride, display your flag, and if somebody tries to destroy your property -- and this applies whether they are white, black, Mexican, Japanese, Arab, or from Mars -- do everything you can to make sure the slime winds up in jail (that's provided that you don't catch them in the act and happen to have a baseball bat or a .44 magnum handy).

I don't think you are evil or "racist",   to me you're just someone who is standing firm to your beliefs and opinions.  I have read some of your answers and even answered some of your questions....you are by far NOT racist, there are some on here that are, but you no way.....your mexican fan club just wants to use the race card on anyone that doesn't want illegals here.  Evidently your doing something right to get them mad at ya.lol..keep up the good work.

Absolutely beautiful,  you are one of the smartest people on this site.  Yes they should when you go to another country you need to respect their culture and flag.  I would not go to mexico and wave an american flag.

Ed, I completely agree with you that it isn't much of an inconvenience at all.  I think that people are using the "inconvenience" argument to cover up for the fact that they are just angry and frustrated about immigration in the U.S.  Often when people say they don't like a language it's actually a reflection that they don't like the people who speak that language.  So, frustration at pressing 1 could actually be a reflection of racism towards Mexican people.

Pero que paso contigo? Se parece como usted está teniendo un día muy malo?\n\nHispanics do not need to acknowledge English as a universal language. Maybe the imperialist white man should have learned to speak Cherokee or Lakota when plopped their fat they arses on American soil.\n\n\nIf your public school ONLY offers Spanish and French, it is probably becuase those are the only two languages they could get instructors for. It has NOTHING to do WITH accomidating ANYONE.\n\nI attended a public high school and was offered Russian, Japanese, Spanish, German, Mandarin as well as French. \n\nI don't know what part of the woods you live in, but almost all colleges offer foreign language aside from French and Spanish. \n\nI am not sure what is stemming your animosity towards hispanics but you should try and overcome it. You obviously have lived a life that lacks diversity as your views of latin culture is severely distored.\n\nThere is no need to feel that latinos are so demanding. It truely appears that you have some inferiority complex toward those that speak spanish. :) Your comments are not backed by anything of true substance except negative emotions. Did you have a latin friend that hurt your feelings? Did you fall for a beautiful latina that decided she was not interested in you?\n\nPlease try to be a bit more open minded when acknowledging other cultures. You miss out on alot when you focus on the negative.

I think people see them as a supremicist group. And supremicist groups are no good. "Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada" Everything for the Mexican Race, Nothing for outside the Mexican Race. It is saying that they believe that if you are not Mexican than you are not deserving. I disagree with that. I am white and my husband Mexican (from Mexico) and there is never a way that I could agree with that, and neither would he. Cant we all just get along?

The restaurant owners do have a legal right to post such a request on a privately-owned establishment. After all, there's no law against appearing to be a closed-minded bigot. Free speech is free speech. I find it ironic, however, that the very constitutional amendment that protects the rights of immigrants, tourists, or people who speak languages other than English to speak the language of their choice, also protects the rights of people, like this restaurant owner, who wants to shut them up.\n\nI have a couple of problems with the sign as an ethical issue, however. First of all, it demonstrates a level of intolerance that I find upsetting. If the owners are sincerely interested in helping their clients learn English, then by all means, insist they speak English, or at least try to. But you don't have to be tacky about it. It's entirely possible to patiently and graciously ask a non-Anglophone client to please place their order in English and to assist them with doing that without having to resort to temper tantrums. \n\nTo be honest, as an American citizen who is bilingual, I personally would avoid any business who had a note like that posted on its door. So they would lose my business. However, their are plenty of hateful racists and bigots who will probably flock to the place simply because they have been "brave" enough to be open and honest about their xenophobia.\n\nThe other problem is this: if you insist that everyone speak good English (and yes, "speak" is the correct form there; it's the subjunctive), then you better make sure your English is perfect yourself. It cracks me up every time I see some moron post an answer along the lines of "Speak english coz its' America and english is the american langaugae!!!" It proves not only that they are narrow-minded xenophobes but also that they are themselves incapable of communicating properly in English!\n\nSo the next time anyone feels tempted to yell at someone for not speaking English fluently, consider the following questions: \n\n1. Is my whining really going to help this person improve his command of the English language? Perhaps if I want everyone in the U.S. to learn English, I should put my money where my mouth is and donate my money or time to outreach services that teach English to these people instead of screaming and throwing fits about it. \n   AND\n2. If I'm going to start criticizing others for their imperfect English, I better make damn sure my English is absolutely flawless. If it's not, then I'd do best to exhibit a little bit of patience to those who have difficulty with it as a second language.

FANTASTIC POST!\n\nI have heard of it and found it online after attending the May I, Illegal Rally.  The illegals were chanting AZTLAN for about five minutes and, after discovering what THAT meant, we continued to research and to our horror, realized that this is a MEXICAN INVASION!\n\nTherefore, no amnesty for anyone.

I agree with you but looking back at the answers you have recieved I cant believe that people dont think that the minuite men are not racist. Hello they are targeting a single group of people. You may say no to that, they are against illegal immigration, but then why arent they building walls or taking stands in other areas that we see as a place for immigrants to enter this country? It is targeted at the Mexican border, so yes they are racist. About La Raza, I cant say for sure what you are talking about so I cant agree with you on that. Can you please tell us what group they are and what they are doing??

we're trying to kick out mexicans from a country with a latin name & out of states with mexican names. its not that they are a threat, its that they taking advantage of our socialism. remember, socialism was one of the reasons we seceeded from england. the fedgov is out of our control & we dont care. the greatest weapon of the facist is the tollerance of the passifist.

well... they messed themselves up. you cant report someone for feeling that way... lol. isnt this freedom of speech? especially on the internet??\n\nYou can't logically and honestly tell me that flying Mexican flags saying we demand you to make us citizens of your country... for being illegal... is the best way to go about bringing changes. RIIIGHHT. Mexicans are hard workers, yes they are. Grown and raised in California, I've grown up/am friends with a lot of Hispanics, but do it the right way... legal immigration.\n\nAnother thing... they (Hispanics) talk about how great their homeland is and how America sucks... wonder why none of them go back there? Show AMERICAN pride, not [insert country here] pride. That's what we had to do when we came over on ships... it's called assimilation.\n\nAnd do you honestly think they pay taxes? Please. They're undocumented. They do not pay taxes. You are crazy for thinking that. Then they send our money to banks out of country. Think what you want, but I would say they have screwed up by doing this right now. There is no basis. You're ILLEGAL... not LEGAL. NO as opposed to YES.

I understand how you feel.  I am very sympathetic about the immigrants wanting to become citizens.  I believe that I would also do what ever I could to make a better life for my family.  BUT... the present protests going on, has really ticked me off, and one of the biggest reasons was seeing them waving the Mexican flag.  If they would like to become AMERICAN citizens then they shoudl all be waving the AMERICAN flag.  To me anyone that is waving the Mexican flag is saying in effect " I don't really want to give up my sovereignty to my country, I want to be a Mexican citizen with the rights here also" You just can't have it both ways.  There is nothing wrong with being proud of where you came from, but to be an American, your loyalty should be to the US

uselegal, you cannot reason with people here who are illegal or support illegals.  I'm ticked because my grandparents had to go through hell to become a legal citizen here.  Amnesty is DISCRIMINATION, and all the services in Spanish are DISCRIMINATION.  Where are the signs in Polish, German, Italian, etc?  Spanish signs are everywhere and, again, THAT IS DISCRIMINATION.  LEARN THE LANGUAGE and come here LEGALLY.
