Where were the Italian/English multi lingual signs? Where was it for the Germans? Or every other group?There's a problem with the lack of multi-lingual signs in many stores where I live in Flushing. The problem is the lack of English. The anglophones are up in arms demanding multi-lingual (English) signs in the stores. The Puerto Ricans should be entitled to Spanish signs. They are American citizens, by birthright, from a part of the United States where official business is conducted in Spanish. Like all American citizens they have the right to travel and live freely throughout the rest of the US. Many have taken advantage of that right. The US chose not to establish English as its language nor did it set up a decent education system in English, when it ruled Puerto Rico as a colony. One may argue whether these were wise policies or even if the Spanish-American War was justified. However, the necessity to accommodate our fellow citizens is a consequence of these policies. |
