Problemas para Donaldo

You can follow that line about Trump easily enough.

It's amusing to pick out bits of Spanish, but it's disgusting when you HAVE TO.

This is North America, NOT South America.

It's a bit ironic that the rednecks are screaming about loving their fucking Confederate flag when in another generation, they'll be shouted down by Latinos. As in: "We want to fly the Mexican flag! We're PROUD of our heritage! We remember the Alamo...for how we killed your heroes, Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone. Ha ha!"

Today's NBC evening news was dominated by Donald Trump's troubles: his beauty pageants being kicked off Latino cable TV stations and NBC telling him they won't broadcast it in America.

NBC's half-black anchor, Lester Holt, smugly announced that NBC was proud of their stance on minority issues. So fuck Freedom of Speech, let's not allow a man to state his opinion under threat of economic sanctions. You fuckers don't even treat Iran like that anymore! NBC declared their sympathy to the Latinos minority. NBC estimates Latinos are only about 20% of the population -- a mere FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE.

Minority? That's ONE in FIVE. If you were told ONE in FIVE will come down with Lyme Disease this summer, you'd be damn well concerned.

It's much more than ONE in FIVE in urban areas like Los Angeles and New York City. You might not see too many Puerto Ricans in Wyoming, or Mexicans in Alaska, but it's more like ONE in THREE in certain areas. Like THE BRONX.

I turned off the news to do some cleaning. I opened a box of kitchen scrub pads and saw THIS:

"That's my argument, restrict immigration!" Groucho Marx.

Groucho said it in a Marx Bros. comedy. THIS is reality. NBC was whining that Latinos are ONE in FIVE, a mere FIFTY MILLION in America. How come it's ONE OUT OF TWO languages on every fucking product I buy?

What's America now, a fucking greasy version of Montreal?

Bilingualism is a fucking headache. Why print instructions in both English and Spanish if Latinos are merely a "minority" no better than, say, Chinese, or Muslims or Poles or Russians are others who speak different languages?

This is what pisses me off, and there's no excuse for it. Every generation that came to America learned to speak English. Most Americans are children and grandchildren of foreign-language speakers. They were Italians. Poles. Yes, even Mexicans. The Hebrews, Chinese, Greeks and Russians had to learn an entirely new alphabet.

Now this new generation of Mexicans (plus Puerto Ricans and South Americans) have multiplied and become a lazy majority, forcing the entire country to go bilingual. They've intimidated every company into offering Spanish translations. They've pressured NBC and everybody else to make it un-PC to even state a pretty factual point of view. We all know Trump's an asshole, but he's not THAT far off in what he said. Illegal immigrants include a lot of criminals. They fuck up the economy.

Dios mio. The tragedy here is that Spanish is a lovely language. Who wouldn't want to learn it, and help out people who are struggling? But damn it, now it's mandatory. Every broadcast has the SAP channel where Latinos can get a simultaneous translation. Illiterate? Don't worry, you don't even need subtitles, you'll have a Spanish announcer call the ballgame for you, or actors and actresses dubbing every line. That's outrageous.

Who the fuck needs the clutter of another language on an American product box? Especially when it's making it easy for ONE group to NEVER speak English? Está incorrecto! (It's WRONG.)
