[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bill mathewson lupo - Things are a changin' however as Spanish is quickly becoming not just a second language for some, but the only language spoken by many in the Southwest and in pockets of the Southeast. [/quote] At the Kroger Grocery Store nearest me if you DON'T speak Spanish YOU are the minority. This is in Central Arkansas not Texas and not New Mexico. Many of the former English speaking customers are now shopping at other Krogers and avoiding this one. Even the employees now speak Spanish, not as a second language but as their native language. It is making shopping there VERY difficult as my Spanish class in high school was longer ago than I would like to admit. [B)] One of the most popular restuarants in Central Arkansas makes authinic Mexican food. But again there is a language problem. Should the Border Patrol ever visit the restaurant I would wager that only the customers would be left in the restaurant. The food is pretty good but they are pretty expensive too. We may live in a country where everyone (somewhat anyway) may speak the same language but there are many problems between certain groups of people and of course there is still much prejuice left. I truely believe that as the baby boomers depart this world that the race problems will actually improve. I am a baby boomer and I have noticed that the kids in my neighborhood all play together. As they grow up they will be more tolerant of different skin color and different languages. It is too bad that so much prejuice does still exist but it does. <Time for bed, putting the soapbox up now.>
