I casually mentioned that it "would be fun" to have someone call Bingo in Spanish. And WHAM a resident screamed at me, "WHY?"
I touched a nerve, but what nerve? Are people so frightened by immigrants that merely mentioning their language evokes a scream?

On the computer You type Translation in which you type in english and it translates in spanish. Have a great Day!
Gee. The players might have to learn some Spanish if they wanted to win and that would be absolutely terrible, wouldn't it? Downright un-American!
I think that would be fun to call bingo in spanish. I may not win though but I could try. Paula
people are frightened by most things they don't understand...
I think Spanish is a wonderful language. Often we think everyone should speak English to us American Tourists when visiting a foreign country out of respect for our spending money there. Any country deserves to have their language be the most important when living or visiting in that country. A mention of a language alone should not rate a political rant. mark
