What does the language television channels for SAP-Spanish or English subtitles?

Many US-based sample provided English subtitles and some offer a language for subtitles in Spanish. SAP offers several shows in Spanish and several other languages is possible. However, Spanish language television, I saw only the subtitles in Spanish. Should they also be required to provide them in an equal access or equal to the environment? Or how can we do?

you're right, but that would be considered a racist statement ever English subtitles

    Learning from other cultures …

    I had to write this article because I could not believe the wedding I attended last night. It was absolutely amazing!

    Amazing Because of these two facts. First, they were Greek Orthodox, which in itself means that the wedding and reception will be fully decorated with maximum and the wedding and reception will be nothing but fun! Secondly, all these people are gypsies! No, I do call gypsy … said they preferred I called them. With these two facts, Greek Orthodox and the Gypsy, I knew that I was really a pleasure, and indeed almost a culture shock.

    And I was right. It was a wild night of celebration! Let me tell you a little about how the Orthodox Greek Roma families from the party.

    Well first, the reception was carried out before marriage. Now I understand that this is not true for normal people Greek Orthodox, however, this is true for the Greek Orthodox Roma families.

    At the reception there are tons of dance. And when I say tons of dancing, I mean, do not stop dancing to, literally, four hours. I have seen that lady dance the same way, with a kind of maypole in one hand and a huge diamond ring with a veil on the other hand, about three hours in the dance I asked, "Why has been dancing for so long without interruption, are these things from your farm? "He said he held the sacred veil and dance with her because she is the tradition for her, one of the aunts dancing with the sacred veil by hand as it is to bring luck and at the end of the dance she married the crown and pray in the crown and put a blessing for her and her new husband. The Tree May, she told me it was because it was the May 1 Greek Orthodox Easter and it was their Easter holiday this season for their heritage. I really enjoyed learning the entire culture of information. How fun to have something different at the reception.

    Therefore, continues the reception and everyone is dancing. Suddenly, after two hours of dancing, the music stops abruptly. It was all completely jolt to my system because I had been heard and played the same song over and over again for literally four hours. Was fun. But when the music stopped I thought, "What's going on?" Everybody ran to the snack tables and began what I thought was really a celebration. Gourmet steaks, potatoes, salad, cheese, stews, etc. The menu has so forth. I could not believe it. The dinner seemed to be faster.

    Once this is done a few men whose father grooms, grandfather and some of his uncles was about each table with a basket of bread only asking a donation to the newlyweds. Each person has at least $ 300! I could not believe the generosity. Quick basket of bread, because moving a savings account, and when all was said and done, the patriarchs had raised nearly $ 10,000 in total guests. It was quite surprising.

    So I figured that was the end of the night. The reception was 6:00 to 23:00 and was a quarter of an hour until eleven. So I start to slow down when suddenly the traditional Wedding March song started playing on the overhead and suddenly the stairs are the bride in a white dress, which was a surprise to me because the bride was dressed in a pink dress all night but I was just another tradition. In the absence of notification of the Bride and her father walk starts between all hosts and the foot of the dance floor. Once at the dance changed since the wedding song Butterfly Kisses Mars, which is a dance song father and daughter very popular at this time. Dance around a minute, and for the rest of the song to the bride spends more than 25 children of her husband, uncles, cousins, friends, whatever! She dances with so many people, was like a whirlwind. Once done, all in the front goes in a circle and dance once more to the tradition of Greek song and goes in a circle singing "Op" and Opa "from time to time. Once the song ends with all the aunts and cousins had married the daughter and run to the fork crown on the head Once Brides huge runs on the cake, cut, feed each other a loaf, take a sip of wine, and suddenly a Greek priest, growing head of the bride and the couple, he whispers something in his ear for 30 seconds, and then turned the marriage. Everybody shouts, the high priest ties a red ribbon around the bride and grooms hands to show together. All the family grows newlyweds in a rainbow of leaves and tons of people take pictures with them within 3 minutes. Later, the newlyweds soon running and jumping in a limousine and killed the game completely.

    Literally the end of the bread basket in the limo to take off, he did all this in fifteen minutes. I could not believe it!

    I learned something really useful last night. I remember thinking, "Wow, this is not romantic! Has just run if all the important things romantic. "However, remember that all guests and see how everyone was happy and I thought," Hmm … You know what? It is their life, their culture and what they are. "After he was so happy for them and learned to appreciate the night and enjoy all the things I was exposed to different cultures, and I was actually one of the best weddings I attended.
