Just got passed up on a promotion because I don't speak Spanish

[Wild self]

Everyone should know English in America but adding another language to the arsenal never a bad thing

I leaned a little Spanish, but these jobs want us to know it inside and out as our native language. That is too much IMO.

Conversational Spanish is one of the easier languages to pick up. I'd recommend you learn it in your free time.

I just need to go to a country and immerse myself and I'll be fully fluent. I can read and speak pretty well, writing is another issue....

I can help you with that....... http://www.thecoli.com/xfa-groups-g...aking-language-learning-group.42/group-detail

French was the first language I ever wanted to learn but I was really young and there isn't a large French-speaking contingency in the US... If I lived in Canada, I would most likely speak French and not Spanish... That's f**ked up though..

Most of the government jobs require that you speak both English and French, which makes sense. I studied French grades 4 through 10...but didn't stick with it. Unless you're in French Immersion, you really don't learn it that well to be conversational.

I speak three languages total and in addition, studied Spanish for a year and a half and Russian for a year...but I didn't keep up, so I'm not fluent in either (except my native languages).

So what else do you speak?

This is America. We have no official languages here. Deal with it.

That's de facto racial discrimination. English is the primary language and people shouldn't be barred from promotions merely because they do not speak Spanish or aren't a fukking Mexican. There needs to be lawsuits alleging racial discrimination b/c that's what happens. Largely only Mestizos and whites speaks Spanish, no one else.

It's de facto racial discrimination. Only Mestizos and whites speak Spanish for the most part, so I guess only Mestizos and whites can get hired or get
promoted? Racism. This issue should be taken to court on the grounds it is racial discrimination.

Except, it's not really racial discrimination.
People get jobs based on skill (generally).
They treat knowing multiple languages as a skill, and if you don't have it, they don't want you.

It's like if you work for an international hedge fund and you're dealing with Japanese companies. If you don't at least understand some Japanese, why are you even there?

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

You work at either MDC or FIU huh?

 

[godkiller]

Im sorry for your L. But often, friend, the L's we take are grooming us for W's in the future.

That's not true. Ls don't just add up to Ws. If you can't work you can't work.

It's a farce. I have come across jobs that basically that want Spanish and don't involve international work, and when you look at the hiring manager it's a fukking Mexican or white. The Mexican is just a racist. Asking someone to speak Spanish in this country for most managerial and entry level jobs is ridiculous because these jobs generally serve those who can speak English. The requirement is broadly used to discriminate against non-Hispanics and non-whites. If as many jobs ridiculously required Japanese as require Spanish, I guess no one would be able to work but Asians, right? Well that's what happening.

The language requirement should be taken to court as a proxy for racial discrimination and outlawed. This fukkery is only happening because of the illegals.

If these scientists predictions are correct.......that gif isn't too far off

I'm just saying that if a certain role requires you to communicate with people who may speak spanish...you probably have to speak spanish in order to do that job effectively.

And I'm saying 1) most of these jobs don't require those skills and 2) it's really just a way to flaunt the Civil Rights Act and racially discriminate against people, particularly young non-Hispanic minorities who NEED the jobs.

Again, the only peoples who usually speak fluent Spanish are HISPANICS and WHITES. Period.
