dude people who make fun of peoples accents are MORONS. if you can learn and speak the language then you have my respect. accent or not.
i agree w/ u
dont know if anyone noticed this....but foreign ppl are actually better at speaking english than americans. becuase foreign ppl do actually follow all the language rules.
its really rude when they say that. its not like immigrants dont try to learn english. and even when they do, people still make fun of them when they speak it just because they speak it in a different tone.
Yes, it is like immigrants don't try to learn english. Many do, sure, and I don't have beef with them. What I have beef with is the people that come up illegally and then demand that they be taught spanish in schools, and not have to pay a lick for the welfare they are on. Eventually the kids grow up and become gang members, or someone might kill someone else... then they can flee back to Mexico and Mexico will never turn them over to the authorities. I don't call that right.
The shirt is right. Learn it or leave. Learn it and I won't be making fun of you, you're welcome to the country.
guys thats why i said "learn" instead of "speak" on the shirt. if it said that instead i would buy about 3. one for me, one for the guy next to me and one for the mexican who don't know what it means.

if i didnt speak spanish, i wouldnt be making 75k a year @24. no bull.
so no, i'm not offended. you'll just never have what i have but at least you'll have your silly little shirt.
if i didn't speak english i would not be able to post here. whats your point? we won't have what you have? the ability to hear mexicans bitch about how i can't speak spanish to them? give me a break. im glad i don't speak it. i speak russian. but i have not met a russian person who didn't TRY to learn the language to some degree. even my old grandparents would try to learn. koreans and cambodians i know have learned it. everyone except the spanish speakers.
if you are offended by the shirt, come live down here in southern california. It will get tiresome really quick when every other person speaks spanish and when you say anything to them in english, they talk shit about you right there in front of you to their little buddies.
Im a 100% german VERY white boy. I speak english, spanish, and bad german. I can understand everything those little bastards say. Most around here make fun at the fact that they think that you cannot understand them. So after they poke fun at the 'dumb white boy', they always turn their heads and are astonished when i say "usted necesita aprender ingles. Se hablar su lengua. bastardo estupido."
