A random thought: have you seen a TV series in sony or fox called Freddy it features an old non-white woman speaking in spanish, and they don't put english subtitles considering the series is produced for the u.s. viewers... what they spect? u.s. viewers to know english and spanish??  the same happens in a portuguese soup opera (that's why the random thought came from) it features an old non-white woman talknig in spanish with no portuguese subtitles!! now are the portuguese viewers supposed to understand spanish too??  by the way the spanish they talk is a bastardization of latin american origin.. =/
