You guys need to come visit San Antonio/Little Mexico some time. I think the percentage of Mexican decent here is around 57% now. They just celebrated Mexican Heritage Month here (and I think across the nation). There's not one store in town that doesn't have both English and Spanish signage on their displays. I was looking at a Burger King flyer in my paper this morning, and one side was printed in English, the other side in Spanish. One of the local TV stations has a show on Saturday evenings dedicated to Tejano music. Even one of the bigger C&W radio stations brags about "Mas Musica" in their commercials. A Dairy Queen that was down the street from me was recently converted to yet another Mexican restaurant (the fifth one in a 1 mile radius from my home). I went through their drive-thru right after they opened, and they couldn't understand English. Fortunately for me, I've picked up enough Conversational Spanish to get by with ordering off a menu. The Anglo American has truly become the minority in this town.
