I think someone needs to remind Skeeter that immigrants demanding their hosts' immediate and total respect is a new attitude among certain ethnic groups. Exactly what other immigrant group in history has demanded this kind of special treatment, that their language receive special status above the language of our country?? My great-grandparents were all first-generation immigrants (Italian & Polish) and they not only all learned English, but they were proud to do it for THEIR country. How dare you insult these and other ethnic groups by including them with people who can only whine about what we owe them (HUH???) and how they shouldn't have to learn English. It would be racist to ask them to stop speaking Spanish - how is it racist to simply ask them to learn the language of their new country? If I moved to Mexico or Russia I would do all I could to learn the language and culture. Wouldn't you?
