Story here

Quote:
DALLAS -- The marquee in front of an east Dallas elementary school has one nearby resident complaining. Half of the sign at Alex Sanger Elementary School is in Spanish, and the homeowner believes that is bad for the Forest Hills neighborhood.

Dear, I think our new neighbors might be... ETHNIC!! (for all you Dead Milkmen fans.)

Quote:
Most schools have a marquee in front of the school to inform parents of the latest school news. At Sanger elementary, one side indicates the school made the Exemplary list in English while the other side has the same message in Spanish.

Well, Hispanics outnumber white people in Dallas, dude. GET OVER IT. Hispanics are NOT limited to lower classes, you know.

Quote:
Several other residents NBC 5 spoke with had no problem with the bilingual sign at all.

Nice to know that some people are still sane in this world...
It just amazes me how much people whine over the stupidest of things. It's sad to know that racism is alive and well.

Edited to add: You know, here in Dallas, we've got areas with signs in Korean, another area with signs in Vietnamese, another area with signs in Chinese and Japanese, and so forth... Mr. Lily-white bigot, you should try getting out of your ivory tower now and then.

=X That's just stupid. For all of our "racial integration" we still haven't really made that leap yet. I mean, have we really integrated if stuff like this happens daily?

That is really ridiculous.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

That's just dumb. I wouldn't mind more variety in my neighborhood but it's ethnic enough as it is. XD
On that note, korean signs in miami would look cool. Also, shenanigans. :P
