I live in a city that has had a large influx of people from the middle east, and the city is changing. I don't mind that part, honestly. It's cool to have a sub-culture in the city.
What bothers me is so much is that many businesses in the heart of this part of town have completely switched to Arabic signage, and don't have ANY english in the store.
Furthermore, it is really starting to annoy me that in public (like at the Civic center gym) many of these people will be talking (sometimes in english) and when I get close enough, I hear them speaking in arabic.
I get it, it's your primary language. I don't mind if you use it at home or somewhere that everyone understands, but when 10-25% of people can't?
Anyway, thanks for having a place to go off, this has been bugging me for a few weeks.
OH, AND THE CAR THAT PULLS UP TO THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE TWICE A DAY AND HONKS THE SECOND THEY PULL UP: STOP IT ALREADY.
*huffs*
