Obama thinks your kids should learn Spanish

That stinks as selective evidence, three guys holding that sign, while it appears the rest of the manifestation are all holding US flags...

1. Here is the problem. People are not adapting to the rules and it's not just Aztecs but politicians that want to tap into a new voter base by pandering. Obama and Mccain both do it. Hillary did too. If people aren't going to abide by the rules of the land, they don't belong here just like if I were to go to another land and expected rules to bend for me while everyone else had to wait in line or learn the land's rules...I wouldn't expect to last long.


2.Robots? Japanese robots perhaps? See the human race sucks so badly that people feel the need to invent robot or either that, Japanese are tired of sniffing panties after being microwaved and blow up dolls. I suspect that is the real reason.

Natural Spanish speakers in orange:

louisiana isn't spanish speaking. only recently with the slave labor shipped in from mexico thanks to katrina.

Yes Aztecs. They must learn their original language again.

Their original language? Nahuatl? Proto-Nahua? Proto-Uto-Aztecan?

Perhaps I should run off and learn Irish, or even Basque (because it's the closest I'm going to get to Old European)!

The "Aztecs" were just one Nahua group at one time, notable only because they happened to be around when the place got conquered. Modern Mexicans aren't Aztecs (heck, they're mostly Mestizo which are a generous mix of European and native), and Aztecs are not self-same with the myriad of people who have spoken Uto-Aztecan in the American Southwest, nor yet would any lineal descent uninterrupted confer any right upon them to it. Of course, what if the Nahua only moved in to Mexico from the American Southwest recently! How much of their "culture" was then lifted from, say, the people who built Teotihuacan (a great city which predates the Aztecs by what, 1000 years?). Alas! They're culture is polluted beyond recovery.

My point was that, even with resurgent racial pride, "Aztecs" make up a miniscule population of those who speak Spanish. It doesn't even account for the native ancestry of Mexico. Why not Mayans? Why not Incas? Why not Orinoco or Parima? Why not Yanomamo? Why, for that matter, not Basques?
