[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure why people here have the opinion that bilingualism is actually harmful. I'm American born and bread and became fluent in Spanish later in life. I have insisted that my DCs are bilingual and it's a fight every time I discuss this with someone. Even with family I'm having to advocate. It's ridiculous. What's up Americans? Living in Europe the norm was actually trilingualism. Also, my DS is completely fluent in Spanish and has absolutely no problems. He's never confused. Never has trouble knowing what to say and when. People are even annoyed when there hear him speaking in Spanish. I encourage him to not flaunt it and that's where the confusion comes in. He doesn't get it. At least when I explain racism when that's appropriate I'll have this to refer back to. Frankly, I don't get it either.[/quote]
