Carlos Mencia Says, "Speak English!"
Tuesday, May 23, 2006
Comedian Carlos Mencia is speaking out about U.S. residents who don't want to learn English. Mencia, who speaks fluent English and Spanish, appeared on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch tonight. He said people should stop being so lazy and learn to speak English if they want to live in this country. "I wouldn't be on this T.V. show right now if i didnt speak English," Mencia said. Not learning the language, according to Mencia, will only hurt you. "Know that if you're speaking Spanish, you're going to be a gardener. You're going to be a janitor." The Comedy Central host said there's nothing wrong with speaking your native language on the streets, but English should always be used in more formal situations.Labels: pop culture
