In that case, the Mom seems to be wanting her kid to keep Spanish for some reason. I have no idea how it will play out, but it does not surprise me that Hispanic immigrants are trying to keep their culture. Just because the melting pot theory worked for a few hundred years is no assurance it will always play out that way. Hence the tensions. I do know that the use of Spanish in my community has skyrocketed in the last decade. It could be that this is temporary, and that as the Hispanics learn English, and their children grow up speaking English, it will decay with time. Or, the prevalence of Spanish might instead make it so that its use persists. Got me which way it will go. I do know that my town's population is now irrevocably committed to a majority Hispanic composition. One interesting thing would be to see the % of US radio stations which are Spanish vs English plotted vs time. I wonder if it has peaked, or is still climbing. If it is still climbing, will it just level off, or will it start declining significantly in the future?
