Oh please, spare the HN crowd of your anti-Catalan obsessions. Or, on second thought, please continue to educate the community on the anti-Catalan sentiment that is unfortunately so common throughout Spain.
> If you don't speak Catalan and live in Cataluña you just will never finish the middle school.
Or you will learn Catalan which is kinda the fucking point of education? Boo-hoo, Catalonians want kids to learn Catalan if they are going to live in Catalonia! By the way Spanish is mandatory too, why won't you find a problem with that?
> Or if you want to work for the administration you will be ostracised
> Is just that is trendy to ask for this.
Try getting a job in the public administration in Spain without speaking Spanish, in France without speaking French, in Italy without speaking Italian, in the UK without speaking English... see the pattern? Should we give up our right to address our public administration in our own language just to please non-Catalan Spaniards?
> because you are "an subhuman stubborn charnego"
Your comment depicts the Catalonian society as overtly xenophobic. This is an extremely offensive and unfair characterization of Catalonian society as millions of native Spanish speakers living here can certify. You are either completely misinformed about Catalonia, or spreading lies deliberately (both being extremely common within Spain).
Fortunately support for independence is growing fast. Hopefully once we are independent we won't have to endure this sort of bs anymore.

Yes, I see it, and is not the same as you think.
Would be, "Try getting a job in the public administration in Spain without speaking Spanish AND catalan, in France without speaking French AND Patóis, in Italy without speaking Italian AND Lombard, in the UK without speaking English AND Gaelic"... see the pattern? Duplicated effort, same result.
But in Argentina the same guy could use the extra time to learn other things, that maybe could be even useful for their employers.
Again, you mirror the Spanish public opinion very well.
The pattern is clear: you only respect state backed cultures, my culture and language are mere nuisances that waste people's time.
That's one of the main reasons we need to break away from Spain ASAP. Before it can complete the cultural genocide it has repeatedly attempted during the last 3 centuries.
