Want To Work Here? Anglicize Your Name, Don't Speak Spanish

Senor Larry Whitten ordered Latino/a employees working at his Taos, New Mexico hotel to Anglicize their names and stop speaking Spanish in his presence. Former employees and town residents picketed. The town's mayor said that Whitten was not doing anything illegal. (That's wrong, by the way; this type of national-origin discrimination can violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964).
