You’re welcome.
Living a dozen miles west of NYC, more and more areas seem to be different countries altogether. In Palisades Park (on the NJ side of the Hudson River), the town had to pass an ordinance requiring English on signs to help emergency responders; too many of the signs were 100% KOREAN. Just south of me (in Harrison, NJ - between Jersey City and Newark), you would think you’re in South America - mostly Spanish & Portuguese.
Thirty years ago Hollywood didn’t see this coming.
Incredible, and I never heard about these enclaves.
About 5 years ago, a lot of local merchants went on a Hispanic hiring binge. If you called a store or went in, very poor English was maybe the second language.
I went on a one person protest, refusing to talk to someone on the phone or in the store unless they could speak English so I could understand them and vice-versa.
In a short time, I was getting personal phone calls from the owners, many of whom I knew.
I made my self very clear. My only language at age 70 was English. If they didn't hire English speaking people, I wouldn't come to or phone their store. Then, I would let other people know.
In many cases, I would be contacted by the owner. Non of them apologized. One even called me a racist, he closed his business in less than a year. He found out that I wasn't the only one who demanded to be spoke to in English.
My wife was embarrassed at first. After about a year, she did the same. There was a tailoring store, that did good tailoring and also made curtains and drapes. The new young owner, an American Hispanic spoke perfect English, however, his front clerks and phone people didn't. After a very bad tailoring screw up due to the language problem, my wife now uses another tailor. Her new tailor is a beautiful Latin American Hispanic Lady, who speaks perfect English. Most of her business comes from people like my wife, who tell other people to use this lady.
