Have been for 15-20 years or so. Started seeing them in rural areas and small towns before large cities. I was a courier in Indiana and covered most of the State. Ironically, I live in Florida now and hardly ever see Hispanics, especially Mexicans. 98% White and probably >75% old. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 39466179 United States 10/06/2013 01:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BS most do not speak more than one, hence the need for a Spanish commercial as the target audience speaks only Spanish. Go to south and central America-Spanish (Brazil-Portuguese) Middle east-Arabic Japan-Japanese, etc. Go to these places and the local populace will typically only speak the one language, knowing a few regional dialects of the same language is not the same as being polylingual. My guess is that the multiple language snobs are coming from Europe where many countries the size of states in the USA have different languages and knowing the language of your neighbor is necessary for commerce. Not exactly as awe inspiring as you would like it to be. Hubris much? |

kj User ID: 62578267 United States 09/05/2014 10:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm flipping channels and landed on FOX news and thought I'd stay on the channel to hear about how illegals are allowed to practice law in one state - CA probably. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40043935 Anyway, all of the sudden I hear a foreign language and there it continues with a TWC commericial all in Spanish. The commercial seemed to last at least 30 seconds. I am tired of having to select a language when I go to ATM but it really sickens me when I am watching an American TV channel in the Midwest and I hear a fricken commercial entirely in Spanish! I've been thinking about ditching TWC for DirecTV. This just made my decision easier. TOTALLY ticked me off. |

You getting this upset by different words makes you look completely stupid. You getting Pissed reading these words, cements my point. Quoting: necronomichrist 56367833 Because this is America. Our language is English. There wasn't even Spanish-to-English translation. You're an idiot. You're completely stupid for not seeing that the US is becoming North Mexico. |

Your point? Most humans speak more than one language . Americans don't wan to learn any other. I know tons of Chinese who cant speak anything but Cantonese. :/sdfhasdfshasd/: Those who live by the sword die by the sword, those who don't live by the sword are subject to those who do. |

Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

This is a designed campaign that is NOT targeting a Spanish speaking demographic… I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |
