‘Speak English’ Sign Discrimination?

It’s one small sign with eight little words. But it’s enough to land a South Philadelphia cheese steak seller in hot water with the city’s Human Relations Commission. Geno’s steaks claims to serve more than three-quarters of a million cheese steaks each year. But it’s the threat that a tasty sandwich might be withheld, that has this South Philly institution feeling the heat. It’s all because of a pair of little- 4-inch-by-9 inch- signs that read: This is America- when ordering, please speak English.”
