What's weird is that here in California, where maybe 1/4 of the population speaks Spanish, packaged vegetables and such are labeled in English and French.

The entire nation should put ENGLISH ONLY on our packages.
The entire premise of immigrating here is that you like what is here. To become a citizen, one MUST know the english language.
So why accomodate the dopes giving us lame excuses about preserving THEIR culture. You do that shit IN YOUR HOUSE, not morph the entire societal norms to help you out. Can't read a label? Let your phone do it then!
Not quite the same as modern Latin, though.

McDonalds is a down-market eating place, and Hispanics tend to be under-rep resented in the US upper class, but it would take a remarkably steep social gradient to make 95% of the customers Hispanic in a state where only 60% o f the population speak Spanish.
Cursitor Doom doesn't invent particularly plausible fake statistics.
