"I love my job. Retail is such a rewarding expirience. The only thing I love more than lagging behind 11 pm to fix displays messed up by 6-year-olds playing mortal combat in the aisles is hearing this man, my boss, ask me in such a non-condescending manner to speak the native language. I responded to dave like this. I speak English flawlessly. But I feel that the language simply does not do you justice. There is no sentence I can formulate in the English language that could adequiately convey que clase de estupido, imbecil, ignorante, malcriado, hijo de gran perra that you are The oldest city in this country is a city called St. Augustine in a place called Florida both established by Spaniards on a land that did not belong to them No one spoke a word of English. And up until a little while ago, half of this country was Mexico. When you tell me this is America, I should know because I speak Spanish The only difference between us is the origin of our conquistadores. Is that your jaw on the floor, Dave? Good morning, Papi I was born here too. Watched Jersey slowly turn brown as it grew to love pasteles at Christmas time respect our abuelas and fear the wrath of the almighty chancleta and people like me negotiated car deals and insurance policies, called DMV and PSE&G, because if we didn't, people like you would run circles of English around our exclusively Spanish-speaking parents My father cleaned floors with his blood my mother suffers from permanant pelo malo and to this day, bank tellers speak to me as if I only learned how to count that morning but I'm ok with that. While you grumble about how these dirty sp*cs ought to learn English or go home keep in mind this dirty sp*c has a 3.5 GPA this dirty sp*c is unafraid to say what may get him fired, because this dirty sp*c daydreams like Picasso who wasn't American either. Niether was Pablo Nierda Salvador Dali Simon Bolivar Jose Marti salsa marengue bachata saoco San Juan Quisqueya dulce de coco poesia agua bendita madres gritando Ave Maria ¡Mira! ¡Menso! ¡Vete tu pa'l carajo! Oh. You didn't understand what I said. Well, allow me to translate. Dave. I said. This is America. Speak what you d*mn well please." -Rich Villar
