I see. Why didn't you just give her the full $2.08 to begin with?

In case you haven't noticed, the whole thing is a fabrication designed to make a broader point of which I'm sure you haven't got a clue. 😉
Lighten up no1. Let's just be friends. Unless you enjoy provoking certain people as much as I do! It's for fun.

If making racist comments is your idea of fun, then he has every right to reprimand you seriously.
It is undeniable that more and more people in the US are speaking Spanish these days, thanks to a continuing influx of immigrants from Mexico. Just because someone acknowledges that fact does not mean they are denigrating immigrants or speakers of another language in any way.

However, since you brought it up, the whole thrust of the original post was that maths education is getting worse and the implication was that it is even worse when taught in Spanish. That is not simply 'acknowledging the fact', it certainly could be interpreted as 'denigrating immigrants or speakers of another language'.
