I don't see anyone as a minority. Everyone is equal.

I was speaking of the time when the NAACP and black pageants were started.

However I also don't have a problem with business owners requiring a second language. Business is about catering to your customers needs and employees must be qualified to do so. My job requires a college degree. The woman in the cubicle next to me was required to know sign language. That's not discrimination. It's a fact of our changing global community.
