Hablas Espanol?
Great, not only do I have some moron at a networking event telling me I should speak Spanish, now I have our favorite Magic Negro telling me my kids should speak Spanish.
Just because I live in a border state and happen to have a last name with some Latino (PC term, I guess) flair does not mean I HAVE to speak Spanish. Last I remember, I was born, raised, and live in the United States and therefore, learned and speak English…if immigrants want to live in the U.S. they should learn English. It’s simple really.
Question for you Mr. Obama: ¿Cuánto español sabe usted?

Er, uh mucho mucho espanol sabe - En Chicago y Hawaii there es mucho mucho Mexicanos y Porto Ricos.
Damn - not as much a George Bush, I suppose.
Get off my back - I took Arabic at Harvard
Your last name doesn’t have a latino flare, at least I didn’t think it did. In fact I always wondered where your last name came from
I beleive her last name is Basque - Spanish with a dash of French… Like El Cid! (bow now in awe, averting your eyes of course)
Whoa Chica! from your nasty tone I can tell you are a self-loathing Latina… Why don’t you come over to my tia’s house this weekend and bring a bucket of Tecate - we will show you how the barrio rocks! Shirts are, of course, optional. Just wait till you see my sweet Impala I have been restoring for 6 years. Its the half maroon/half primer one on blocks en mi madre’s front yard. Remember, the closer you are to the ground, the more you stay brown - mujer!
Learning Spanish es muy importante! How else do you get a sweet deal at the Food City carne counter? I am gonna have to learn one of these days - taking my na-na with me all the time cramps my style in the nectar aisle.
