I would like to know why so many people throw a hizzy fit when they hear anyone speaking anything other than English on a room before the game starts, given though, this only happens on social games, when the games are ranked you can't hear the other team until the end of the game, but regardless, i find it childish for gamers to go buck wild, insult you automatically think you're Mexican when you enter a room speaking in Spanish (nothing wrong with Mexicans) its just that i'm from another country not remotely related to it, i find it hard to believe that at this day and age we still have people ( young kids at that) that are throwing racial comments out in the air, barely even knowing what some of the terms mean.
At the end of the day what matters is your performance in the game, not your country of birth and the language you speak, the games are scored based on how many people you killed and how many times you died, is funny how fast people are to talk trash, but its funnier how much faster it is for them to leave when they are loosing the game or have lost the game for that matter, stay and chat, let me know how embarrassed you are that after all the cr*p you said, you got your *ss handed to you in a game, not saying i'm a great player, i just enjoy the game, obviously i'm better than some people and some people are better than me, but that's just the way life goes.
This is not a request for all you trash talkers to apologize, i could care less about that, i'm one of the biggest trash talkers out there, and i talk trash regardless of winning or loosing, but i also give credit where credit is due, i dont throw a racial slur and leave the room just because i got beat by someone whose language i dont understand, i believe the gaming community should be over this by now, its a stupid issue and should be approached more maturely. i've been sent so mush negative feedback from guys that got whooped after talking trash, goes to show you the maturity.
to my other foreign language speakers out there, keep on handing out those *ss whoopings, because that's the only way you can retaliate the negative comments.

meh, im puerto-rican and italian, but i'm multilingual so it doesnt bother me at all... but if your playin a team game I think sometimes you have to speak the language most common... I remember when I bought Lost Planet to kill some time before the release of H3 and got sent into a game of all Dutch players... out of all the languages its the one I dont even know how to say hi or run in :(
