I live in Texas and you can't fail to pick up some Spanish unless you just don't give shit. I don't know why even many white Democrats in the Texas legislature don't adequately speak it. Norteño culture is fascinating.Speaking just a little Spanish would definitely help with outreach and approach-ability. It's not a very difficult language to pick up for English speakers.
