All Germans are Nazis.

All white juries would never give a person of a different rqce a fair trial b/c all white people are racist.

All white people are bigots.

All white people are rich.

White people have flat "behinds" b/c they sit on them all day expecting others to do the hard work.

There are more "white" stereotypes, but I don't want to turn this into a joke, or have the stereotypes become more important than the point I'm making.

Are these trends that people really do see true of all white people? Most white people? Half of white people?
Of course not. And neither are the stereotypes we hold of other races true for them, even if we really do see "proof".

As far as the language goes Jen is absolutely right. WHY should it bother you if something is in Spanish? Don't read it then. Legal Hispanics make up a huge percentage of the population in the U.S., other languages a much smaller percentage-it wouldn't make sense to do it for such a small percentage of the population. Also, if you travel almost anywhere in the world, you can find things written in English-because we're the only country arrogant enough to think everyone needs to know our language and we don't need to learn anyone elses.
