Some posters think knowledge of spanish is the only language you will ever need

Latinos, in the 2010 census, edged out AA by 12.5% to 12.3%, with whites still around 70%. Do you also believe in Santa Claus? Personally, I think race is one of our stupider social constructs, but if you're into it, at least get your figures right.

Have you checked Fairfax County Public School demographics inside the Beltway lately? Most of them are 30-70% hispanic. I live in NoVA, and my 10 month old DD already understands Spanish thanks to her proactive mother - me. She and I will laugh at kids who go to her public school and speak a useless language like Chinese but no spanish.

yeah

And THAT will get her far . . .
