To those who find it funny to speak spanish in this thread, you guys are doing exactly what it is that pisses americans off.
I speak english, and you want to be funny and speak spanish during this subject.
That to many americans shows disrespect, and is flat out ignorant.

I am sure this will just make you guys type in spanish even more because you will look at my post and laugh, then post more in spanish knowing I find it rude. Go ahead, I guess its expected. I am not trying to make fun, or upset anyone, but I dont believe many of you care what other american citizens believe, or how they feel.
It seems that many spanish people have attitudes like they belong here and are better then everyone else. I feel that everyone is created equal, and we seperate ourselves by the desicions we choose to make.
I am not better then anyone else. My life dosen't mean anymore overall then the next persons. The major population of this country is White/Black. Mostly everyone else has came here looking to better themselves, or looking for work for their familys. Some come here out of fear and need to get away from their country.
In my oponion, if you come to America for any of these reasons you should come here with respect. Show respect to those that live here, and learn to do as the american law says. Be happy your are here and be willing to do your part to make this place a better place for everyone.

I only bring all this up as maybe some of you guys dont realize what can be disrespectful. Speaking spanish in this thread is to me disrespectful. I honestly shouldn't have to even read it. Type in English so we can all know what your saying, and so that is doesn't come out as hahahaha these damn white boys aren't going to know what I am typing.
And hell if you only typed in spanish because your english writing sucks, just come over to Ft. Myers and we can go to school together.
I hope you guys understand the point I am trying to make, and dont feel like I am making fun, or being rude towards any of you.

It just feels nice to be able to talk in your native language every now and then. That in my opinion has absolutely nothing to do with being ignorant, or showing disrespect.

Now I think what you mean is that it pisses you off when you go to a place like Miami and you go into a restaurant and can't find a single waiter who speaks english. That I can definitely see how it would **** you off, as an english-speaking American.

How did I cope with it while growing up here in Miami? I didn't have to "cope" with anything. I was surrounded by people just like me, who spoke both English and Spanish, who studied hard, went on to college and have become success stories. The bulk of my fellow "immigrant" friends from childhood have become lawyers, doctors, engineers, architects (count me as one of those), and scientists. So F anyone who thinks they are better than me because of my background. I can do what you do, only better, and in 2 languages.

I find it very immature that you arrived to the conclusions you did, remember that the vast majority of the current US population came as a product of immigrants from different countries...so called melting pot...

...and to the latinos in the thread...la sangre latina se lleva con orgullo, mantengamosla siempre en alto
