The Everyday Language of White Racism by Jane Hill (2009)

It is important to look at the history between the English and Spanish languages in the United States to understand the relationship that they have that provides a better context for "mock Spanish." The 1917 Immigration Act imposed literacy tests on immigrants coming to the US and restricted the accessibility of coming to the US for immigrants. This act was changed in 1924 with the 1924 Immigration Act that established a quota of immigrants from various nationalities that could come to the US. While this broadened the number of immigrants, there was still an anti-immigrant sentiment with this law. However with this law, Spanish started to be included in public documents and forms like voting guides, ballots, and public announcements, but Spanish as a first language was still against the rules in public schools and was discouraged in the public sphere. The law was again changed in 1952, but was significantly altered with the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. This abolished the nationality quotas. This recent relationships between the US and other nationalities demonstrates the homogeneity of race and nationality in the US prior to the 21st century.

In more recent history within the past 20 years, organizations have been created that promote the use of English in the US like US English, ProEnglish, and English First. Rather than just promoting English and an "English-culture" like other countries have, these organizations and the culture surrounding them tend discourage speaking languages other than English.

Great start. The chapter from the Alim, Rickford & Ball book is very on point. In the second book, I couldn't tell which chapter you're looking at. Is it a chapter by Jane Hill? I see she's cited in the existing article. One thing that's not listed is her book The everyday language of white racism, which you might want to look at. djg (talk) 03:01, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

==== Peer Review In reviewing mock spanish the entire article should be broken up into more paragraphs with sections to define what is what. A lot of info is there it needs organizational work. It still needs more sources but the sources that are there are explained very clearly and the examples of mock spanish are very good. I think the history of mock spanish would be helpful in the article. And a separate section of examples of mock spanish. Also I would add into the other side of the argument that people find mock spanish okay, reasonable, funny for reasons that you could give to add more diversity in the article to keep unbiased.
