who posted a sign at his cheesesteak place that requests that all orders be made in English? I have my opinion on this subject, and I totally understand why the guy is doing it. What do you think about it?

To clarify, he has not directed it at any nationality or race and has not turned anyone away who wants to order from his restaurant. The staff are willing to help anyone who wants to order, order in English.

Good for him. The sign on the door of my business reads:
"English is the official language of the state of Oklahoma. All business will be conducted in English barring compelling circumstances."

sealrborder? you obviously don't know but all illegal are not from Mexico just like all blacks are not from Africa.. lesson one......keep reading you will learn a lot.
to answer the question if you start posting this types of rules we will go back in time and the next thing you will see is no Hispanic allowed, no black allowed, whites only dinners, for what? if we are a civilized world why do we act like such jerks, yes it would be good if they spoke English but is your mind so small that you can't see the benefit of learning from other countries, do we want to become like china and give up the freedom that we now have? if you open the door to the type of thinking this restaurant owner is taking then he and all of us must prepare ourselves America will turn into a communist country if we keep opening those doors, something most of our ancestors ran away from.

i read the story and the guy posted a you must speak English sign on his restaurant to order ,he did not direct at any one nationality it was to all ,and the story went on to say his family were immigrants and came legal and they had to learn English and he feels it will help them in the long run by basically making them learn.

Around here if you dont order in English, then no one understands you and you dont get your food, if they are saying that they will not serve people that speak english poorly, then that is wrong! If they have bilingual staff, then I dont know why they would not serve someone in another language.

Not totally right for the person that says an owner has the right to refuse. A law made many years ago says you have to serve blacks. There is no law that says you have to serve whites. I'm not a bigot. Just the truth.

Yes, I have seen those signs where it says that only whites will be served, and not Negroes or Mexicans... Let's hope a few more people migrate to Philly so that he has to beg the Spanish speaking people so that he doesn't go broke.
