A B Si
AITOOW finds the following results from the Pew Hispanic Center (which means the numbers are doctored to present the best picture) infuriating. Only 4% of first generation beaners primarily speak English. But wait... it "skyrockets" to 78% by the THIRD generation. That's over 3/4 in merely 3 generations. Maybe in 5 they will learn how to multiply. That stereotype of the slow beaner is way off base. Spanish is even a romance language. A language founded on Latin roots that form half of our language. It has the same alphabet. It's not like it's a character based starting point. Every song and movie is in English. How can you you not pick it up by osmosis?
