But what you portrayed as being the case is simply not true. There’s plenty of data showing that Spanish-speaking immigrants and their descendants speak English at nearly the same rate as any other immigrant group.
i’ve worked hard to knock down false stereo types. in my final comment in Meet i said ALL sides hv to work harder

Further, we have no national language in this country. People have the right to speak what they wish. Finally, not all Hispanics and Latinx immigrants are democrats. By furthering that notion, you heighten xenophobia. Your comments were so disappointing.

More than disappointing, it was ridiculous and rooted in the legacy of racism. Can someone tell him its 2019 already.

All due respect sir, but bigotry's a FAR bigger problem than new Americans learning to assimilate. There's no possible way of creating an equivalency, even a strictly rhetorical one, between the two.

Journalists are supposed to work harder. Journalists are supposed to, at bare minimum, RESEARCH. Look at data. You didn't. You're writing in the mangled, unchecked English of a figurehead gatekeeper used to other journalists and writers and editors doing the hard work for them.pic.twitter.com/Lcx6686zcq

With much respect, we hispanics never stop working toward acceptance, it is time for voices such as yours to work harder & see us, really see us for the humans that we are & appreciate how we have selflessly joined in the building of America.

Tom, all sides don’t have to work harder. White privilege exists and it’s our responsibility to use that advantage to eliminate as many road blocks as possible for POC.
