THIS is why I live in Tucson, rather than the valley of the idjits (even though pay is much better there). Nobody would blink an eye about this foolishness here. We've had plenty of Hispanic news people who often roll their Rs and nobody cares. Tucson certainly has its problems, but I could never stomach the clenched butthole bigotry and gated community feudalism of Phoenix.
Timothy M. Hogan, the executive director of the Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest, has worked on some state laws involving the use of Spanish in public schools. “My observation is people generally feel threatened by use of communication that they are unfamiliar with,” he said. “Underlying all of that is the implied threat to the vanishing majority.”
So you admit that this trumped-up hysteria is driven by the terror that Whitey just might not continue to be able to dominate the political agenda even as it becomes a minority. Good to kmow!
Someone pronouncing Spanish words (more) correctly!!! Next we'll have to pronounce French words correctly! Thanks Obama! (so is "Charlevoix" pronounced "char-le-vox"? or what?). Next it will be German words ("heute die fahnenheid ist jetzt nur eine idee") or Dutch ("Rijksmuseum" … "J"?).
