I went to Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve *cringes* and let me tell you: the absolute dregs of society shop there. I had two men who did not speak my language follow me around the store, gesturing at my ass and making comments I couldn't understand. I almost detoured into the sporting section to look for a weapon.



Also, some Emerson took my cart when I left it at the end of an aisle so crammed with humans that my cart wouldn't fit down it. It only had 2 or 3 things in it, but come on!



They made the announcements over the intercom in English and Spanish, which was pretty amazing.

It's amazing because I didn't think there was a very large Hispanic population in that part of Atlanta. I still don't. But I guess maybe it's a national Wal-Mart thing? And if so, why aren't they also making announcements in French, Ebonics, Canadian, German, Chinese, and Japanese?

what's wrong with acting like a decent human being and giving her the benefit of the doubt before acting like an Emerson and just making life harder on everyone involved?



This coming from the world's biggest bitch.

Right. It's Frost-ing America, where people can make their announcements in any Frost-ing language they Frost-ing wish.

"because this is Frost-ing AMERICA"



So we should all be speaking Cherokee?



Show me where in the Constitution it says we're supposed to speak English.

And remember, America was named by an Italian for an Italian.

So Georgia is 5.6% Hispanic and about 62% black.



But Wal-Mart doesn't rap their announcements.

Ok I think I see the issue and I have to sort of agree. This is America. If you come to live here, you should learn to speak the language.



If you go abroad, in some areas it's very hard to get around because they don't always speak in EngliShakespearehink we should adopt the same rule.



Make them ask what we are saying and learn the language.

There is no "American" language. Most of us speak English because a lot of our ancestors came from English speaking nations. There is no "offical" language of America. While it would certainly be convienient if everyone spoke the same language, saying "this is America you should speak THE language" is misleading. THE language is whatever the hell you speak.

However, if you want to belong in a particular society, oand in most cases reap the benefits of that society, you need to conform in some way to the social norms of that society, or you will be resented.

I don't really care if they read the announcements in Swahili, or if they start singing the Mexican national anthem at baseball games. I was merely surprised because I didn't feel like the additional announcements were very well correlated to the Hispanic presence at that particular Wal-Mart.



Next thing you know, they'll have Braille on drive-up ATMS!
