and "love" another culture? I got to figuring ... if I (or someone else) learns Spanish, and learns it well, do you HAVE to learn to "love the Spanish culture" also? I mean, can one go without the other?
My daughter might have to learn a foreign language someday, and though Spanish might be the most useful (because of all the goddamn illegal Mexicans in my area) ... I don't want to encourage a love or respect for "La Raza" ... next thing you know, she'll be bringing home some gang-bangin' Mexican ex-con ...
... should I encourage her to learn French or German, instead?
Francis, you're a goddamn GENIE-US ... go give yourself a congratulatory enema or something.
I might make the distinction ... if I had any "people from Spain" living in my town. But, seeing as they're all from "Mexico" or "Somewhere even more south than Mexico" ... MEANS THAT THEY'RE MEXICANS, for all intents and purposes.
Maybe I should have said "Mexican" culture ... different or not, it's all the same to me.
