Just want to point out that Hispanic people in a group setting speaking Spanish to one another means nothing in regards to their immigration status. I have multiple Hispanic coworkers and a Hispanic SO, all of them and their families are legal citizens. They all speak Spanish when they are with their relatives because it’s typically their first language (even if they were born and raised here). Especially in a situation like this where they can talk to one another without these obnoxious clowns knowing what they’re saying.
But you are definitely right about them keeping their heads down and staying out of trouble. My SO said her father always taught them not to draw attention to themselves and didn’t like them speaking Spanish when they were out at stores, restaurants, etc. He just wanted to blend in and go about their business.
As you’ve said the majority of hispanics are good people - hard workers that want to fit in and make a good life for their families.
Yeah that's true, I painted with too broad of a brush. Many hispanics will speak Spanish even tho their English might be better than mine.
A friend of mine who I met years ago at a plant we worked at is hispanic, he hired in as a groundskeeper. He seemed to not speak English, people thought he only spoke Spanish until he'd been there for a long time. When he finally responded to something said in English people kinda freaked, many of them had said things thinking he didn't understand but he heard it all, and laughed at them.
He later became a mechanic, a good one. He was born here, his parents were born in Mexico but became legal citizens over 60 years ago. He's a funny feller, always up to something sorta sneaky, but he's an honest man, a Patriot.
I imagine there’s a lot of stories similar to that! My father is a retired teacher and was always good friends with the groundskeepers and maintenance guys, many of whom were Hispanic. He also ended up teaching an ESL class for a few years and all of the parents and students loved him.
If only the media knew racist white republicans actually have no issue with non white folks, assuming they aren’t crappy humans which goes for any person regardless of ethnicity/race. He had more issues with white parents who thought their children could do no wrong than with anyone else.
