I turned on the TV for the first time in forever and half of the ads are in Spanish. I would have turned it on sooner had I known it would do that.

“half of the ads are in Spanish”
In Europe lots of channels have different audio tracks that you can choose… is that way in the states now too?
Teletext is long dead (theoretically it still exists but…. nothing like it was). I kind of miss it…

Madam, I would immediately change the channel if I saw so many Spanish ads, and I come from a “Hispanic” background. I am an American and was born and raised in the USA, I get uncomfortable seeing so much Spanish stuff in the media. English is my first language and my preferred one, I can speak Spanish but prefer not to since I am an American.
My parents had to learn English soon as possible as children immigrants and I would prefer not to hear Spanish on American television, I have a complex about Spanish since my siblings and I were not taught as kids. We were told that speaking Spanish would put us in bilingual education which was like a roach motel, you check in but don’t check out. So as a result, I’d rather not speak Spanish or encounter it as an American, we are supposed to be an English speaking country

This is the only way to be. If you have any lingering attachment to your country of origin and advocate for it in your host country, you need to get the fuck outta here.
