Today during class I was arguing with this white girl friend of mine. I have to say she is white because it\'s important to the story. Anyways, I was telling my friend David, who is also white, that it\'s good that he is taking Spanish because he would probably be able to go further in this country. The girl looked at me and said "no" She said "we\'re in America they should learn English" Yes and no, technically we\'re in North America, the U.S. isn\'t "America" I completely disagree with the "they should learn English" comment. I didn\'t read about the European settlers trying to commute with the Native Americans and try to learn their language. She said "we conquered them" No they claimed the land, and "lied to the people and stole it from them", I said. She just made the "no" motion with her head because she knows it\'s true. I don\'t believe that people should be made to learn Spanish. I do believe that most people have no choice. You can whine all you want but the truth of the matter is that there are alot more Spanish speaking people in this country than ever before. And if you even want to think about getting a better job or doing something different, knowing Spanish will help you plenty of times im sure.
