Did you know that almost all Latinos don't support the idea of the National Anthem in Spanish?

I didn't know this, but I hope that it is true.  You don't see Morrocan immigrants to France trying to have an Arabic French Anthem.

Hells no, kid!!! It is the American National Anthem, the native tongue in the United states is English. Only the National anthem for Spanish speaking nations should be sung in spanish. Should the Canadian National anthem be sung in German?........No again.

Well in Michigan it is also English.  Im really pissed off about this Mexican version of the Star Spangled Banner.  What the heck is up with that.  I thought USA was a english speaking nation.  Why would we need a Mexican version?  Not only did they make that version they changed and added to it.  That is our national anthem not the Mexicans!!

It's not latin, it's latino, latinos are people that come from south america, and hispanics and people that were born in Spain, I'm mexican, yeah that's right, my blood is 100% Tequila, I'm just kidding, I'm from Ecuador, so that makes me a Latino

Well it sounds great with 1907 standards, one nation one language this all good; as long as it does not keep going into one religion, one leader, one race, just like it did in Germany under Hitler just a few decades after Teddy said these things. I have no doubt, if he was alive today he would tweak his idea and rhetoric according to what happened in the last 100 years. I am not Hispanic but I know that Spanish was spoken in parts of US way before English was adopted as an official language (just a few votes ahead of German and Dutch by the way), are you going to kick them out because they have been speaking Spanish since before the US was founded?

The term "Latino" comes from the Spanish "Latino Americano",\nmeaning, obviously, Latin American. It is not, as some people  likely believe, a synonym for "Latin." Not all Hispanics are Latinos and not all Latinos are Hispanic. People from Spain are Hispanic but not Latino. People from Brazil speak Portuguese and are, therefore, not Hispanic but they are Latino. Anybody of Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese & Romanian background is Latin, however. The term "Latin America", by the way, originated with the French in Louisiana!

I think because we have our own culture and cannot be compared to others, it's unique ...so why do people expect us to be like the rest???  \n\nWe are not Hispanics, we are not Latinos, we are Argentines... with our own language, derived from Spanish.\n\nI'm proud to be Argentine!\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nNo soy latina, no soy hispana, solamente Argentina\nCon mi propio idioma derivado del Español

As a hispanic I do find offense to it, not necessarily because of what it represents but because of the misinterpretation that it causes. It does cause some confusion to some...I mean why would a person who wants to become a U.S. citizen still have strong nationalism for the country that they wish to escape the hardships of? But from another perspective I believe that the Mexican flag provides comfort and familiarity to those that are on this journey. I think they should wave both.

That's a tricky question, I say if its not illegal than why not, but then again, why would you not want to sing it in the language it was written in?\n\nNot allowing it seems to be against freedom of speech, I say that as long as there is no disrespect in any action, it can't be a bad thing.\n\nI think that if somebody who doesn't speak English wants sing it in Spanish (or whichever the native language is) in order to understand  and feel the sentiment behind the anthem, that it should be taken as a positive gesture.\n\nAnd a little side question to some of you who answered before: why do you automatically assume its a Mexican who wants to do this? there are other Spanish speaking countries in the world you know. (just food for thought I don't mean to be rude)\n\nMony.

I know alot of latinos who don't support illegals, and this makes illegals mad. They try to make them feel guilty, and when they can't they start throwing insults and telling them they are a disgrace to their race. I know this because I live in a majority hispanic city, and my husband is also hispanic. They also get mad when other nationalities of legal immigrants don't support them. One woman I know was called " A Vietnamese b****." The man then went on to say she was a disgrace and at this very moment her people were probably plotting her death.

That's is why they need to leave, they have no respect for our country, they don't want to assimilate or blend into our society. They should learn English and sing the anthem in English it was not meant to be translated it loses it's meaning. I just heard on the news the Congress just passed a resolution that it will be sung in English only. The Congress found it very insulting.

Can you imagine moving to France or Bolivia or Mexico and expecting everyone there to be able to communicate with you in ENGLISH? If you're adopting the country as your new home, you need to conform to its customs and laws.\n\nThe national anthem they came out with is insulting. Shall we rewrite the Mexican anthem, record it in English and release it in their country? Bet they'd start a war over that!

That's what I'd like to know. It pisses me off when people just automatically assume that Americans speak spanish. Hello, we are in America, not Mexico!
