I got an email a few days ago from one of the banks i do business with. It read something like privacy notice and language practices now. I decided to read it and to my astonishment it said that from here on out they would only communicate in English.
Is this a company simply cutting costs? Or is it a sign of the good times coming? I dunno but i found it interesting
i think its beyond crazy how many accommodations the US makes on languages - not just Spanish but other languages as well. I am all for LEGAL immigration (as a naturalized citizen myself) but growing up my mother did not speak English to well so the first language I learned was English so we could learn to speak together, not my "mother tongue". Folks who decide to come and live their life here should adopt the language of the land so they can better assimilate to the societal norms here.
By allowing so many language accommodations lets them continue to live in a manner that isnt consistent with American values. Want to have chinatown or little eithopia? sure go ahead I dont have an issue with that, but seeing billboards and other ads and forms in any other language than English just doesnt seem appropriate to me.
I've been fortunate to travel to most all over Asia and you would never see the same level of accommodation in any of these countries. People may speak English here and there but most everything is in the language of the country/state.
Yeah, the US has pretty much became the cum dumpster of the globe. We try to make everyone happy except it's citizens. I hate our government with a passion.
