The other day I was at my friends house and he pulled down three boxes of noodles. Something about the box caught my eye and upon closer examination I realized that I’ve not really paid attention to labels while shopping. Look closely at the pictures in this slideshow. Do you see what caught my attention?
You may have already noticed this, but just in case you didn’t, when did Spanish labeling begin to show up, in bold lettering at that, on our products on American store shelves?
I’m sorry, but not here in America!
Hey, welcome to America, but hold up! I don’t mind anyone holding onto their culture or being bilingual. I’m bilingual. What disturbs me is the fact that we are catering more and more to a foreign language, Spanish, and beginning to make it the “American” way. To this I say, HELL to the NO! Not here in America!! It’s not my fault that someone cannot read or speak ENGLISH!!!
It’s time to make ENGLISH the national language of our country and before you are citizened into our country you must be REQUIRED to read and speak the language of your adopted nation … The United States of America. As my mother often told us ... “we must blend in” I say to all who becomes an American … blend in! Learn to read and speak the language of our country.
