Viva Latinos!


Many of you may be thinking, if is there any beneficial outcome from stopping English only laws other than respecting people’s identities and cultures. In fact, there is.

Again, in every state more than 4% of the population is Hispanic, in some states statistics get as high as 30-40%. This means Hispanics conform a great part of American population. This can be positive for politicians out there trying to win American votes. In fact, in states like New York, politicians are appealing to the Latino communities to gain more support and they are certainly not doing this by establishing English-Only laws, but by embracing and respecting their own culture and language. A very large percentage of this minority share American blood with us, and have the right to be respected for who they are.

Furthermore, It is not fair to mandate these laws if they are going to injure someone’s own identity or self-esteem and create further resentment or tension between communities. Nobody wants a piece of himself or herself to be removed. Cultures and identities should be respected. It doesn’t cost anything to hope.
