Americas Bastard childs.

Am I the only one noticing the trend that children's cartoons are taking? There seems that nearly all of the popular 8 and under cartoons have at least one Spanish speaking character.

I see a clear hostile tactic by Mexico, slowly gaining the newest generations trust and understanding... So that when we are all old and our kids run this place, the Mexicans can just waltz right in, more so than they already are.

Do you think there are English speaking children cartoon characters in Mexico?

No.

I for one have noticed that trend, and I applaud it.

No.  I want the market to decide.  I believe in freedom, even when "my" side might lose.

Learning Spanish is on my list - is it on yours?

No.

I can speak pretty ok Spanish. 

Negative, I took spanish in high school, and didn't care to carry the studies further, didn't see the need to.

Or I'm too lazy.

I haven't decided yet.

That doesn't make me a redneck Gatyr.

All I know are a few "swear words". Otherwise nobody I know or I can speak spanish.

I think the mixing of cultures is a great thing, it is what America has been built upon. I think in a few generations we will see so many more people able to speak both Spanish and English, and that will be great. Bilingual = better.

Here in northern MI, we have a mixed Great lakes/Canadian dialect.

I hate the fact that; Eh? slips into my conversations every now and again.
