Why do Spanish speaking people seem to get upset when they find out he doesn't speak Spanish?
He was born in California, his parents were born in California and his Grand parents were born in California. His parents speak it, but never taught any of their 6 kids!
He is proud of who he is, his parents just didn't teach him Spanish. People should not treat him differently just because he doesn't know Spanish!

A while back some pepole sent a bill to the local goverment of Nevada, to make spanish mandatory to be taght in school. Fifty years ago it was considered very rude to speak a forien language in a public place, in alot of places in the world it still is. Am I missing somethig here? My great grand parents imagrated here also. But they did not act so disrespectful. I have always thoought one language is better. Making it easier for us a ll to comunicate......?
