Roku PLEASE correct the error of playing spanish language commercials on EVERY commercial break during english speaking shows!!

This is very annoying, it's either complete incompetence or being done deliberately for some nefarious reason. English speakers only want to hear English!

If you don't speak English and you live in the US then you need to either learn English or move someplace that speaks your native language!

America shouldn't be catering to Spanish speaking people anymore than Mexico or other places should cater to English speakers living in their counties.

Advertisers call the shots and pay for your ad-supported programs. If they want to reach viewers who speak Spanish, French, or Hindi, that's what you'll see. Just because the program is in English, many multi-lingual people may be watching.

America has never had a statutory national language. The founders made a deliberate choice to avoid that so as to welcome all comers. Yes, English has been the predominant language; but plenty of native born and naturalized Americans speak many other languages, often in addition to English.

I am tired of watching TV with Spanish speaking commercials.  I pay for TV that I can watch and understand, which is English not Spanish.  I thought that is what the Spanish channels are for.  I am considering ditching Roku.  We should have a choice and a voice!  No spanish!
