This has nothing to do with skin color or racism on the part of white Americans. The anxiety is not only among American Whites but also among Black Americans, and 2nd and 3rd generation Americans who speak only English. At least in cities like mine (Miami, Florida). It's not just a fear but a real problem because people cannot get jobs here unless they speak Spanish. Black Americans can sometimes get hired without knowing Spanish, but never whites or 3rd generation "Hispanics" who speak only English. Worse than that is that many businesses will not do any business in English. And they are somehow certified. At all levels. I personally have dealt with business owners, real estate agents, small retail store owners, investors, technicians, restaurant owners, and more who speak no English, only Spanish. You can't even order a pizza in English. My English-speaking son was hung-up on because he tried to order a pizza in English (I speak Spanish so I have to do the ordering). There are pockets of Miami where English is spoken in businesses, particularly the tourist areas by the beach or downtown. Because it's treated like a foreign language. Also, government offices and libraries still mostly speak English. There is real discrimination against non-Spanish speakers and white Americans. I don't know if data exists that shows this but it's witnessed and is common knowledge among people who live here. This was not the case 21 years ago when I began having children. That's why I didn't think it was mandatory to teach my children Spanish. People still spoke English. Now, my kids will likely not get jobs unless we move elsewhere, which is easier said than done.
