This world has people that speak a lot of different languages.
And if you're going to deal with these people in any way...you have to be able to communicate with them.

Those are the breaks, kid.

Not at the expense of learning Spanish on the level of a Spanish professor to get a damn job. Crazy how people force American citizens to speak fluent Spanish for a job. Most people don't have that mental capacity to do that

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.
Actually what you're saying isnt true, friend. There is work, somewhere and the L pushes you to that somewhere. Sometimes you just have to realize you cant restrict yourself to 1 city/state and sometimes, nation.

No, fool. The Native Americans took a L and never recovered. Now their race doesn't exist. Ls don't equal Ws you buffoon. Ws equal Ws and sometimes you can recover from a L but Ls are never good.

Don't bring your religious fake ass believing bullshyt round here breh. Blacks shouldn't have to FLEE STATES AND CITIES BECAUSE MEXICANS ARE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US. Are you fukking crazy

You want blacks to move to motherfukking Africa to get work you piece of garbage

Their race does exist actually. Many of them became Mexicans and El Salvadorians as they ran from colonizers and others are billionaire casino owners. Good effort there friend but lets stay on the topic of jobs because we're talking about finding employment not running from your life from genocide.

How is it discrimination? Having knowledge of another language is always going to be an asset regardless of job position. Better keep up.

Actually no it doesn't. You ever seen a Native in real life? They are drunks, addicts and losers breh. Most of them don't even look Native. Their land is completely and wholly owned by a different people. Some of them have casinos but the majority live like rats on a sinking ship. Their culture, people, and traditions are lost forever. In places like Canada they are discriminated against in their own land. They fill up the prisons and the drunk tanks. Do your research before you talk shyt.

Mexicans and El Salvadorians and shyte aren't Natives, period. They're Mestizos like the millions upon millions of other Hispanics, and don't own shyt in the world. Ls don't equal Ws so stop your shyt.

The point is that rampant employment discrimination against blacks is unacceptable and telling blacks they must move is like telling blacks they have to leave America because whites won't stop killing or enslaving them. No no no no no. If blacks cannot work we lose hope, we stay in the ghetto, we rob and kill, etc. And then our Mexican overlords do what?

I notice that kid in your ava looks half something that isn't black. You have something to tell us breh?

Does it disturb you slightly that people can live here for extended period of years and not learn a lick of English? I don't mind learning a few phrases in Spanish, but not to be fluent as my native language, English.

What if in order to get the job, you had to have straight hair so the stringy haired cave people would feel more comfortable?

Why should people have to cater to foreign people in order to get a better position.

I refuse to learn spanish.

The worst part about it is they expect american citizens to learn a language because the foreign people refuse to adopt to the spoken language

I don't know if some of you are that ignorant or being purposely dense. @greenhousegases is right. While there are positions that indeed require the knowledge of a second language, in many cases it is used as a means to keep blacks out of certain jobs. I've seen teaching jobs (California, specifically) that are non ESL but REQUIRED you to speak Spanish. That is ridiculous.

I have met people who have lived in America for DECADES and still can't speak a lick of English :why: Lets be real. They don't bother to learn because they don't have to. We cater to them.

As I mentioned, knowing another language is a skill, nothing to do with race, hair color or whatever. Stop the faux-racism comparing :stopitslime:

I don't live in the US, but yes of course it would be good if they learned more english. BUT if you wanna complain about jobs requiring spanish don't attack hispanic immigrants, people just realized that their is money to be gained by doing business with them.
