I believe that it is better to tell the truth in any situation, even if it incriminates a friend or family member. Lies are easy to get caught up in, and it's better to be honest and let the situation play out naturally. Although it is much easier said than done, being honest and truthful gives everybody the option to do the right thing. Also, it is worse to get yourself in trouble with the person if you lie.

When people around me speak a language, I am often indifferent. There is some aspect of wondering if they are talked about me, or further more talking about me in a negative light, but I know that that is more often not the case. Also, I suppose I am curious to hear what they are saying, but I know that's nosey. In general, I think it's cool to hear other languages in average conversation because it's interesting to hear how it flows and how things are pronounced.

I think that the situation is somewhat accurate in the sense that social movements surrounding the Hispanic/Latino community are often ignored. That community is a largely influential part of American society, but most issues faced by them are not dealt with or misunderstood. However, this analogy seems quite oversimplified. Yes the Hispanic/Latino voice is suppressed, but the issues that black Americans face are not to be dismissed either. Often the focus of racial injustice has been aimed towards issues facing black Americans rather than other racial minorities, however the progress and focus was largely needed.
