"I've been working 24 years in Texas and we have a lot of Spanish people there. I've never had to ask anyone to speak only English in front of me because I've never had a reason to."
Really? Spanish people in Texas? And you were there for 24 years and it never occurred to you to maybe pick up a smattering of their language?
Hell, I've never lived in China, but I still say hello and thank you in Chinese when I go to Chinatown.
