Am I the only one who is annoyed by announcements in Spanish?

[mikethern]

I KNOW the 2nd largest language group at WDW is Spanish. That's the reasoning. Why does it bother you so much? Why do you constantly refer to them as different type of people and automatically classify them as someone who doesn't want to learn English. That's what's racist about it.

Because I am correct about most of them.

My political views are not liberal by the way.

Yeah, if I were liberal, I'd be ashamed too.

Thank you for serving in the army, for your country, but just because you do not realize your views are racist, does not mean they are not. As I said, i'ts fine the other languages annoy you, its the classifications you place on the people who listen to them that make it racist and I do not think this is the place for it.

The language itself does not annoy me. It's the lack of assimilation that annoys me. You may not like what I have to say, but it's the truth. You are either stupid or in denial.

Finally, again your use of reasoning is suspect, instead of attacking my ideas you attacked my person guessing at my political views. Instead of attempting to analyze your own view you fell back on the fact you served in the military. You are probably not capable of reasonable discussion and you will most likely fail to realize what I even mean. I think I'd actually respect you more if you admitted your racism. But this is probably the best way to hide it, attempt some weak insults and hide behind them.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Final question, while serving over seas, did you agree with the process involving using translators to speak to the civilian populations, or should they have learned English since the Army was there to help them? The scenario is no different, its safety, pure and simple.

The scenario is completely different, moron. I am not referring to tourists visiting Disney from other countries. I am referring to people WHO RESIDE IN THE USA who refuse to learn English because they do not want to assimilate. If I were to MOVE (not visit) to another country, I would learn THEIR language instead of expecting them to learn mine.

I'm out.

Good. Now stay out.

I just want to first state that I'm neutral in this whole arguement,
but you have to realize that a person's environment makes a
person see (in their own views, whether they inherited it through
their parents' behavior towards other races or just even in their own
community) one might not be involved as much with the different languages
in one area as someone else might be.

For example, my town, within the last five years the Spanish
population rose at least 10 percent, and the town I live in has
less than 30,000 people living here.Therefore, it's a huge increase.
And with all that,(the majority being white)the Spanish population
were reluctant to even learn English, some kids in my high school
don't even SPEAK English and have to have translators in the class-
rooms with them. I know that's off topic but the point is, some
people are not used to/reluctant to have everything become bilingual.
And coming from where I do, I can fully understand this.

But then again, with the way that English is slowly fading out and other
languages are used more with population increase of Muslims and Spanish folks,
AND considering it IS WDW, then you just have to be more lenient about
the whole thing.

I just hope I got both sides to see what I'm saying after reading all of this
unnecessary bickering over each other's own opinions.

Liberalism would want equality, no favoritism, and the single language.

Your statement is the most asinine statement I have read all year.

Liberals demand inequality. It's called affirmative action.

Liberals love people who speak Spanish because they vote for liberals.

But you already knew that, didn't you.

I won't stay out actually, since you're attempting to bully.

I didn't attack you, I attacked your ideas.

Again, look up liberalism, it does not mean what you think it does (your response to this has me questioning your reading level). Liberalism is not a Democrat or affirmative action. You don't know how wrong you are here obviously. Because mainstream media calls something liberal does not mean that is what liberalism means. Liberalism in its purest form wants basically survival of the fittest, no recognition for different groups of people and so on. It doesn't even believe there are different groups of people, everyone is the same and equal.

How can you classify people in your country a certain way based on a ride announcement? What you want your thread title to read is
"I don't like people who don't learn English and live in America".

What you're arguing about has nothing to do with WDW, another reason it does not belong here.

Not surprisingly nearly everything I said previously went over your head. This is really not to mock you or call you out, but I suggest maybe a first year poli course and a first year philo course and to top it off maybe some psych. I know you'll take offense to what I just said but I honestly didn't mean it as such. You're just arguing and making accusations with no idea what you're talking about. I know what you don't like, I get it. But your defense of it is horrific (It's tough to defend racism, but you're not even making sense, you called me out on the definition of liberalism then quoted a democrat policy, democrat does not equal liberalism, and again I'm not a democrat, Huckabee 08).

You obviously don't need school in any way to get through life since you've been in the military and I guess have moved onto something else now, but if you want to make debates like this and look halfway intelligent, those courses will really help you.

Finally, try and be more open minded, who really cares if it's a different language, just let it slide by, think of all the other potentially annoying noises at WDW, that's life. Do not spit this argument back at me please, your views are racist, open mindedness will not help me understand them. Simply because you believe it is right does not make it so, but you're free to feel that way. Conversely the same applies to me, but I at least understand the words I use, liberalism and patriotism being prime examples.

Be clear here, you're not talking about immigration or anything like that, you are talking about a group of people you do not like because of what they choose to do and the fact they are Spanish. That is racism.
