I myself was recently fired for speaking up. Albeit in a moment of anger. I emailed a California government official that emailed me that EDD was looking for bilingual workers, that "isn't this America and wasn't our official language English?". Anyway, I'm unemployed now...all my co-workers agreed with me, but no one said anything...Looking for a job in southern California.....LOL!

I was fired from a job in 1961 because I told a Black girl, who I had previously worked with at an insurance company, that the firm I was working for was hiring. She came in to apply for the job and when they found out it was me who told her about it they promptly got rid of me. This was long before EEOC and there was no reason for them to be afraid. I guess they didn't want to work with someone who didn't think that working with Black people was a bad thing.

...Looking for a job in southern California....

If you can, get out of that climate (not the weather). It won't get better. At least, not before it gets worse.

We have no official language, unless something has changed very recently.

I feel bad for you, but truthfully that was a pretty stupid thing for you to do.

Bilingual workers are needed all over this world, and especially in a country as international and welcoming to immigrants as the USA.
