I live in a predominantly white little city/suburb of Houston. It's kind of a pricey area with high taxes (great schools for the kids). In my neighborhood around the corner is a guy with a for sale by owner sign in front of his house that is all in Spanish. I've seen the guy and his family, they look like whiteys. I know that can be deceiving, but not usually around here, Mexico city yes, Spain, yes, but not usually in Houston in a predominantly white suburb.
The thing that I most wonder is does this guy really want to sell. He'd have a lot more people asking about buying if his sign was in English.
I dunno, whatever.
I'm perfectly happy for people to speak other languages, actually, we should be multilingual, but the people that get cranky if I, for instance, don't speak Spanish and they don't speak English, and we are both living in the US.... I just don't get it sometimes.
