The Five Most Annoying Things About Miami

Your ignorance is amusing.

 He didn't say, "official" language, idiot.  He said, "primary" and English IS the primary language in this country. And he's right.

Ignorant? you're talking about yourself...America is a continent, not a country.

Anyone who has a naturalized family member knows that you don't necessarily have to speak English to become an American citizen, despite that. Abuela can't tell "car" from "cat", but home-girl's been rockin' a US passport for a decade now.

You're thinking of the United States of America, which is not actually America.

It's not called America

He said "primary" language.

good point. however, when the citizenship test requires knowledge of the English language, it should tell people something about its priority over other languages.

 FYI, America does not have an official language.

Go back to school and learn to write English Dammettttttt !  God I'm so tired of this.----- ENGLISHHHHHHH -. APRENDE A ESCRIBIRLO, HABLARLO Y LEERLO !!!!!   or move back to your country .  If I had to learn English when I arrived  to  Chicago  from another country--- so should you !!!   You see  the word English has a capital E at the beginning. Can anyone tell me why ?????  I will tell you because I can write in Englishhhhh  and most people in MIA don't .Really and how does knowing English get you around in Miami ? you idiot!  A car is used for that.

 By the way I'm Latin and NO -- I will not get use to it. Immigrants should adjust to our country not us to them. And if you don't like it go back I will get you a raft my self. FYI, I attended a university in Latin america and I didn't expect  the people there to learn my language.  You know what I did ---  I adjusted. 

Yes, of course! How could I not have realized that? Your argument is so coherent and well-thought out. I bow to your superior capability of reasoning and civility.

Alternatively, realize that the United States has an incredibly high percentage of people who have immigrated from Spanish-speaking countries, is primarily and principally a melting-pot immigrant society, and that being able to speak the language can sometimes be a requirement for a job, especially in a place with a high concentration of Spanish speakers such as Miami.

If it irritates you so, there are other places outside of Miami that you can seek employment in. Alternatively, you can learn Spanish.

It's people like YOU that give Miami the reputation it has. You're a biased enabler.

It's not northern Cuba, it's Latin America. Vaya a la escuela y aprenda espa~ol zoquete!

Fuck you. You're the problem.

Businesses decide their necessities. If they want to hire people who only have one foot, that's their problem. I suggest if you don't want to work for a company who only hires Spanish speakers, you probably should just not work for a company who only hires Spanish speakers. That might solve your nationalistic dilemma right there, bud.

When someone can't get hired because they don't speak Spanish, but gets hired when they ONLY speak Spanish is because speaking English in Miami is not crucial regardless of the fact that Miami is part of the United States.   It's not where it is but who lives in it. And YES culturally, Miami is Northern Cuba or Northern Latin America and NO we don't need English to get around.  People should learn from Canadians and start getting use to the thought of having two official languages.

Or the job requires you to speak Spanish. Deal with it, it's a job requirement. You don't get mad because a job requires you to have a skill you don't have when you meet other requirements, why is it a problem when it's a language you can't speak?
