Yeesh.

"It seems to punish people who can't speak Spanish, and I resent that," Peter Thomas, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, says in the report. "In public areas, people should be speaking English, and that includes pizza parlors."

"It seems to punish people who can't speak Spanish, and I resent that," Peter Thomas, chairman of the Conservative Caucus, says in the report. "In public areas, people should be speaking English, and that includes pizza parlors."

Critics of the offer have also come from within the Latino community:

"Maybe they thought it was a cute thing to do, but I think it's discrimination," says Marcela Gomez, president of Hispanic Marketing Group in Nashville.

Pizza Patrón brand director Andrew Gamm says 70 percent of the company's customer base is Spanish-speaking, and they are simply trying to reach out to their target market. They called the promotion a way to honor the "positive force of change immigrants have made in communities throughout America," in a press release. Pizzas are available from 5pm to 8pm and the limit is one per customer.

Damn right. If you want to hire bilingual employees, that is fine. But to discriminate against customers who speak English isn't any different than discriminating against customers who speak Spanish or something else. What if a company held a promotion only open to white people, or females? Wouldn't that be the same thing?

And, yes, in America, you should be expected to speak the official language --- English.

Did we pass a law on this and I missed it?

Mark2010 · May 23, 2012

English was established as the official language back around the time the Constitution was passed. IIRC, it came within one vote of German being the official language.

The United States does not have an official language. Check your pocket Constitution.
