you don't see the double standard? maybe it's like at uni where only whites can be racist, by definition.

I have never heard of any professional being told they needed to learn Spanish. Not sure what you mean by double standard. I am cool with employers requiring whatever language skills they want whether it be English or anything else they think the job requires.

You've never heard of it? It's almost required to know Spanish to get into Med school here in Texas. A lot of jobs have someone who knows Spanish given an advantage over someone who doesn't if they have to deal with customers. You must live north of the Mason Dixon line.

I live in NY now but I grew up in Texas. Right after I typed that I thought about doctors. Most of my friends now work in finance or are in school and I play poker so I know I don't have the greatest sample. I still think that it is something that people like Rush get irate about but most normal people don't really care.

I have met a few Post Docs from China that where just learning english when they got their job but they are so talented that their really could be no englsh speakers that can do what they are doing.
