English-only Gets a Tortazo Across the Snout in San Diego

It sounds like these employees don't like the terms of their employment and they should find another job. Or does the $12/hr guy that keeps the shelves tidy get to dictate company policy?


"The lawsuit accuses the Idaho-based chain of discriminating against Hispanic employees at San Diego-area stores, harassing them and subjecting them to a hostile workplace because of their race or country of origin."

Which race or national origin? It's the native language for multiple races in multiple countries on a few continents. To say they are targeting a specific race or national origin is a bullshit argument.


"The manager and others allegedly harassed Hispanic employees about speaking Spanish, threatened them with discipline and publicly reprimanded them for allegedly speaking the language because managers didn’t like it, the lawsuit alleged. Non-Hispanic employees were not similarly harassed or subjected to the no Spanish policy, the lawsuit said."

I'm going to go out on a limb here... Was it because they were Not speaking spanish?
 
America (as far as I know it) has 1 official language. (or does it?) If so, one would think that it is English.

Canada has two official languages. English and French. (ugggh)

Welcome to our country. This is how we roll. This is how it IS here. If you like it 'there'/want here to be like 'there'/think 'there' is better.... then GO BACK THERE.

ALL of my ancestors that came to this continent, learned this continents ways, and changed/adapted their lifestyles to this continents methods and practices. WHY is that concept so lost/foreign/confusing/beyond so very many 'people' nowadays.

Are they really being bred that stupid? Or just ignorant?

(see what I did there?)
 
Sean, We have no official language written into law. There was a push to make English the official language (maybe 10 or 15 yrs ago?). Obviously it would be racist for a nation to have an official, or so they said.
 
We have no official language. I just ignore anyone that is not attempting to speak American.

It's stupid to say its targeting a specific race but Spanish speaking people aren't going any where. It's all fun and games to know the bad words but when someone gets paranoid that they are being talked about, that changes everything. Knowing two languages is nice... you can tell someone you don't want to deal with that you don't speak English, in Spanish. Then just walk away:cool::ROFLMAO:
 
Local range is now refusing to allow non english speakers to sign on and shoot . About
fucking time , if you can’t follow RO commands you are dangerous to say the least .
There’s very good reasons ( international ) pilots must speak English .

Stopping employees from speaking their native tounge seems an over reach however .
Plenty of Spanish speakers in a few of my workplaces . Pretty easy to tell if they are
talking the piss out of me , or whoever by thier eye movement and body language tho .
If it gets to me , I just call them a bunch of donkey fucking beaners in Urdu or Pashtun ,
seems to confuse them much to my satisfaction ..,.

What is more concerning to me , is how many South Americans have a basic grasp of
Arabic . How T F , and when , did that start ?
