This goes for everyone, not just Mexicans and Hispanics, I'm talking Germans, Chinese, Canadians, Nigerians, I don't give a fuck. Speak english and be American.

She appears to stumble at the last word, forgetting the spanish word for whatever the lady told her, and get this- the WHITE WOMAN tells her what spanish word to say. The girl giggles innocently, and the happy music plays.

Just thought I'd share yet another example of the mexicanization of this country. We have a cable company now that caters to those who refuse to learn our language. Makes me ill.
