6. Says you

Millions of Americans speak Spanish. For many it’s their first language. They speak it at home.

Your comment comes across as, frankly, bigoted. I hope that isn’t your intention.

I propose a debate entirely in Spanish, no English. Anyone who can’t hack it juat gets to sit it out. Would be interesting.
