If you are speaking of the woman who criticized the hispanic mom, then I agree........
People should be free to speak their native language to their family members no matter where they are. My best friend grew up in Hamtramck, MI, and there wasn't a Polish bakery or meat market where the merchant and their customers didn't speak Polish to each other. And that included my friend's mom and dad........
As a side note, Srodek market in Hamtramck has a store front near me in a northern suburb and any time you walk in to purchase Polish sausage and any other Polish cuisine, you will hear a Polish customer speaking Polish to the person waiting on them..........I certainly have no problem with that and only wish I knew how to speak Polish.
The three year old child in question will learn how to speak English in school while at the same time keeping her Spanish speaking heritage with her family at home.........
People can be just so damn rude..........
Yes, HT. I was referring to the woman who criticized the Mom.
Ethnic neighborhoods are a national treasure in my opinion and to go to a Polish store & hear Polish or German in a German store, Chinese in Chinatown is a wonderful thing.
I think people are certainly free to speak to their relatives in the language they choose where ever they are, as you do. I think in many situations, where everyone else is speaking English, they will however participate more fully if they speak English.
