36. In Sac its referred to as Little Saigon, and they tend to shop at buisnesses...
operated by other Vietnamese, and funded by either Asian or Vietnamese money and we're good with that http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/22209/Sacramento_Celebrates_Little_Saigon_at_Tet_Festival And of course, specific to the OP; some dentists not all but some do other diverse languages - but its more to the point that privately owned businesses aren't required to. Its almost as though you're implying that you have to speak Japanese to own a Toyota

A dentist in a private practice, unless contracted by a county entity, etc, is not so required. The county, state and fed agencies are and they are doing so. But its not like we're ordering burgers at the UN, and there'll be growing excursionary incidences of suits such as into privately owned businesses (which will end up cutting both ways) as a way of political protest. And that is too unproductive to entertain for very long

I think a question to consider - rather than trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - is if: you own a Burger King franchise in the states that is as a corporate model setup as catering to all *in* the states (the core element of a menu filled with pictures to point to, or the international symbol for restroom)...why would you hire staff that speaks no English whatsoever in a country where the vast bulk of commerce is conducted in English? Even *by* Mexicans

Today, in Walnut Creek, at a Barnes & Noble; my husband held the door open for Cambodian man & his young son. The man thanked my husband in English. My husband nodded holding his head lower as with a bow. Everyone smiled, including the little Cambodian boy. And for me, if for little other reason but that one: the union was a bit more perfect
