Real fam, share your thoughts on Tom Brokaw’s comments and apology below!

“Sir, I don’t want to be more like you.” POWERFUL. Loved this!!

[rosemaryngugi]

Of course they are always sorry after backlash.

[jennifersorto]

I hate that they apologize after making very ignorant comments, no you meant what you said! Now stick to it and accept the consequences that come with it.
I’m a proud Hispanic!

That Adrienne speech should go viral, she said it and I fell it

[cameron]

When she said “ the native language of this country is not English, let’s start there” I damn near got out my chair 😂

[zainabraibati]

"You need to speak the language of this country!"
Oh really? So which Native American language are you fluent in? 🐸☕

[OrangeMilkBlossom]

Come through with the truth Adrianne! 👏👏

[thegfes]

Adrienne has been waiting for this moment her whole life 😂😂

[almacorrales]

Thank you Adrianne for having an intelligent opinion that most Latinas would agree with

[allaboute]

When she said the native language isn’t English I felt that.

[glove]

I love girl talks like this, when the woman are really passionate in what the topic is. Adrienne really went off! I love this woman!

[meltaway_]

Being bilingual has been the greatest blessing of my life!

[Zdabest_]

When Adrienne was first telling us what happened, you can tell she was ready to go off. 👏🏼👏🏼

[richie]

If you want to speak a different language? GO RIGHT HEAD!! Being Bilingual is beautiful.

[ciexjae]

Dang I used to love blonde on Adrienne but she’s killing the brown hair 😍

[callmichrissy]

Why would any one look down on Hispanics, you guys have such a rich culture. I honestly wish I could speak Spanish I admire you guys. Don’t change for anyone!

[desireediaz]

He’s only sorry because he got caught! It’s so sad that racism lives on.

[alexram]

Next time he wants Taco Tuesday someone should tell him “You can’t sit with us”. 😂😂

[rebeccalove]

I love how well spoken Adrienne was and how passionate she was too she didn’t come to play 🔥🔥

My Arabic teacher told us this on the 1st day of class:
"It is very important to speak another language. In the rest of the world, the common saying goes...
If you speak 3 languages, you're trilingual.
If you speak 2 languages, you're bilingual.
If you speak 1 language.... you're American."

We all laughed, but it's so true! Americans who so heavily emphasize this need to EXCLUSIVELY speak English are embarrassing. I hope these newer generations learn to be more tolerant and more accepting of diversity...
