Those outside of CA don't realize what a melting pot it really is here. In Jails, everything is repeated in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. The high school here is 60% asian. A fourth language is unclear. Hindi is unneccessary beacause all the Indians speak English. Too many Chinese languages, and the Japanese community is smaller. Vietnamese is entirely a valid selection.
Surely there must be a translation handbook of the dozen facist slogans we've been hearing repeatedly for 50 years?
