Well, you do support affirmative action.

In Europe there is frequently multiple languages on signs and ATM's, same with in Canada, and it's not just English and French here, there is frequently chinese or spanish on the signs.
You miss the point. It's not simply that there is spanish subtext that irritates people, it's that so many hispanic immigrants make no effort to learn our language. This nation is predominantly English-speaking. Why should the 90% or so of us who speak English be forced to adapt to the 10% who don't? I should think those 10% should adapt to the 90%. If everything they see is in spanish and English, there is no incentive for them to learn the native tongue.
