I couldn't resist adding my $.02

I work in Peru. Spanish is spoken (actually Castellano). Just as I thought it very important, (out of respect), for me to learn the language of the country in which I reside 21 days per month, I believe it is equally important for others that live in the EE.UU to learn English. It's only a sign of respect. If you choose not to respect the place in which you live, then there are deeper problems that must be dealt with.

As far as racial jokes, I believe this, or any other forum about TEXAS CONCEALED HANDGUNS LICENSES has no place for racism. Even just a little bit. The story is told of the kid whose Mother caught him lying and the kid justified it by saying it was just a little lie. So the mother made some brownies and put in 1 Tsp of Doggy doo. When the kid came to eat the brownies, his Mother told him, "it's just a little bit"! The point being, just a little bit can spoil the whole batch.

To justify a racial joke with a response is to condone the activity and therefore support it.

My Father used to tell me that "it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"...

I just couldn't heed my father's advice on this one...
