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

If you are working for a school they want you to know Spanish so you can communicate with parents that don't speak English, not just the students.

I figured Spanish was damn near a requirement for every job in Miami. It's usually listed on the job openings I see.

So then we should be forcing kids to learn spanish inorder to graduate, so they can be prepared and have a fighting chance in the working world.

The only way I see most poor people getting by In This world is if their kids learn to speak fluid Spanish really young just like hispanic children

This isn't how Canada or any other motherfukking country does it. In Canada they just hire translators or get the kids to translate. I should know because I lived in Detroit near the Canadian border and rarely fukking met a Canadian who spoke anything but English.

America likes to be cheap and put the translator burden to its citizens.

Bruh, I don't care how Canada does it, I'm telling you why that school is doing it. It's cheaper for them to hire a person in that position who already speaks Spanish than to hire a translator.

Also how does you living near a country where English is the official language, even in Quebec, compare to dealing with Spanish speaking immigrants from south of the US?

Most people can never learn to speak Spanish on that level. That's the problem. Not just basic phrases, but entire conversations.

In Miami, Texas, and California you really should have your kids enrolled in some classes to speak Spanish. In Georgia and Tennessee these white folks don't give two shyts about catering towards the needs of anyone, especially Mexicans.

Thats exactly what im saying, unless kids grow up with the language then they will never be at the level these jobs are requiring. How messed up does that sound that we would have to basically make spanish a a requirement to graduate grade school in order to keep up with the new job requirements in this country

So what else do you speak?

Macedonian and Bulgarian

And that's how it should be. Poor white folks mostly live in states like Georgia and Tennessee, and so they don't suffer discrimination at the hands of Mexicans. That's why there's no real uproar about it. Asians and Indians don't either since they largely work higher end jobs. So who the fukk is suffering from language discrimination? It's BLACK PEOPLE. That's why the government is doing nothing about it. The entire US should be like Georgia and Tennessee. If you don't speak English in these states you aint eating

Add Illinois to that list too.. They have very large Latino population as well, especially Chicago.

And the fukked up thing is that the Spanish speaking world are literally @ taking America hostage and forcing its citizens to learn on an absurdly high level of their language to suit them.

Yeah, ans

Exactly. You're Eastern European and you speak languages you learned as a child: English, Macedonian and Bulgarian (these two are regional Eastern European languages and probably similar). Normal people can only learn languages they were raised in since childhood. Only smart and genius people can truly learn fluency in entirely new languages without living around it. This shyt is a setup
