I think I'll go with the last for the irony. The Founders actively considered using an official language other than English as part of the Revolution. Both German and Hebrew were considered.
I think that's actually an urban legend (sorry! Sad )

From what I've read, the German one was more of a non-binding resolution to print all government documents in German, but not in place of English.

I've learned a lot about Cassius and Reaganfan from this thread. A lot about them that I didn't need to know.

If the USA ever get's a Latino plurality, it'll be far better for it.

No. I mean look at the countries with existing Latino pluralities. Mexico, Columbia, etc. Are they happy countries? A clue: no. Seriously, what is this desire for ethnic change... Can't we just go back to the good old days when the population was 85 percent white and the country gave Ronald Reagan 59 percent of the vote. Such days... looks dramatically off into the middle distance
Can we please ban Cassius? This coddled twerp is just a reminder that there are people with horrifying opinions.
If we are going to be banning racists, you probably will end up on the chopping block in a matter of weeks.

I'm wondering what advantage people like to see in a country that would have multiple languages spoken and accepted in it.
oh idk maybe because language is the central vehicle of cultural expression that allows communities to maintain historical tradition and some people would like to see these communities maintained rather than destroyed by xenophobic and oppressive language laws. this is a very American opinion of mine.
This is of course true to a degree, and is one of the reasons why the ethnic enclaves of the United States are so culturally valued. But there is a difference between ethnic enclaves and showcasing America as a bilingual nation. Our national motto has a meaning that should be taken a bit more literally.

Sanchez, your last point in this post is good, but I'm curious as to why you're going down the lines of argument articulated in your first two points, based on what you've admitted in the past. Especially the point I bolded.
