I had to write this...
I had a conversation with a stranger — white American. He was born and razed in California, about 36-39 years old. It wasn't a big surprise what I have heard, but some moments from our conversation shocked me as well.
I'll try to bring this conversation as close as I can.
There was a time, even about 7 years ago when everyone had a job, the house and the money to spend. When economy cracked, people started to blame on Government, Banks, Mortgage presentative.
Yes, for sure, all the powerful people had something to do with that, but there is something else going on behind the scene, what is trying to break US Economy. It is a very possible that illegal immigrants got advantage of the situation, and things went too far.
- I was trying to get a job for about two years, I am a cook with a strong resume, but every time I pushed hard there were no results to get a job, in some point I gave up,but in a couple of months tried again.
Two years later doing this and that I got luck, that someone looked at me as a professional, and hired me.
There were 4 Mexicans working part time, and it seems that everything was o.k. until I realized that they are actually trying to get rid of me. How it started...
They pretended they do not understand English, and started to teach me and explain what is what means in Spanish. I had no interest to Spanish and continue speaking my own language.
In one point it got annoyed,when one from dudes said :
- You have to learn Spanish.
What for I need to learn Spanish, am I in the United states or what?
Later on was happened something like that again, and I was joking around, that my head can't handle the language. After one more try one of these Mexican's started talking to me Spanish and explaining that I need to learn Spanish... I said:
You are in the US guys, and need to speak English.
- No - said one of the guys, you have to learn Spanish... 2-3 years from now Spanish will be the main language in California.
Fuck You!!!! (there were my thought). Now I know why Americans can't get a job.
Spanish are hard workers... hard workers standing on the table with food they prepare with dirty shoes, putting their fingers in my mashed potato dish? They are hard workers, because they have jobs, experience every day... Yes that is true,what they are working hard to get California and Los Angeles especially...
GOOD LUCK! Brush the hair of you kids first!
The person I was talking to, got a bit upset and hot, but in a while continued his statement.
