Do hispanics in the mainland/US speak to all people in spanish? What if the person they're speaking too is hawaiian or somoan?

I'm Mexican [Hispanic according to the law] and only speak Spanish to SOME people like my mom and familia plus people from my church and this guy [only a FEW guys who look white can pull that off omg] But I dont speak it ALL the time, especially if I dont HAVE to.

Around here - a lot of the Hispanic population ONLY speaks Spanish.

In my school - the only foreign language class is Spanish, and you have to take 2 years of it. French was common before, but I didn't even have a chance to take it!

Many Hispanics are born in a Spanish environment - and never learn English. You can get around in some places around here not knowing any English - and knowing only English will confuse you in many places too.

Of course.

Many Hispanics, especially Puerto Ricans, yell in Spanish only. It's very insulting when you don't know what they're saying.

It's funny that they use "Gringo" as an insult too

So not true.
It might be true in florida, but in most other places its not.
There are a lot of hispanic people within my vicinity and all of them speak english.

It is true here.

But, then again, they either come from New York or their original country/island.

They even speak of places, in New York, that only have Spanish speakers.
