"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.

Seems like a pretty good marketing gimmick to get gringos in the door.

I've had their pizza before and it was OK. They've streamlined their menu, though. A few years ago they had a barbacoa pizza that looked like ass, but was yummy.

This was a great PR move by this place. Great PR.

And once again we see people selectively calling certain things the government makes us do Socialist and other things they want the government to make us do, even though it does not, OK.

So was it discrimination when Jambi the Genie made Pee Wee say "Mecca Lecca High, Mecca Hiney Ho" to get a wish granted?

Learn English. As you know, it's the official language.

I see a strong correlation between supporting Official English and believing Obama was born in Kenya.

Does anyone believe Peter Thomas goes to pizza parlors?
