I have to agree with
@herron1345.I am hispanic, yes, but my parents did not teach us spanish because they told us they would get in trouble for speaking it in school and they didn't want us to go through that.  My aunts and uncles didn't teach my cousins either. Now, I know it is a benefit to speak it but it really chaps my hide when I am out and someone comes up to me and starts speaking to me in spanish and when I tell them nope, don't speak it, they look at me like I have 2 heads and are in disbelief. So I ask them "Habla ingles??" and the answer is usually no.. um, yeah, we ARE in America and we speak English. 4951
