I'm an anglophone. I'd walk out too. Brock's just being insulting for the publicity. His comments were (probably) taken by the audience similarly to how I took it when I was criticized for saying "y'all" (to several people) in the North.

Pretty strange way to want to get publicity. Look what happened to John Rocker for saying the same thing. I hope this guy tells them to stuff it.

"Y'all" is very useful because it fills a void in the English language, which, incidentally, does not occur in Spanish and the other Romance languages.

"Y'all" is offensive? You all=Y'all. Duh.

I'd stand and cheer!

Brock was not being insulting at all -- he is expressing a commonly held truth: This is America. We speak English. Learn it. Love it. Or leave!
