Your question is the same as that of a white person asking, ‘Why the hell are Black people taking over McDonald’s commercials?’. Spanish-speaking immigrants are a huge population, and earn an enormous amount (in the aggregate) of disposable income that is outside of the normal demographic data flow (i.e., an untapped market). More simply, they have money to spend. People want to sell things to them. It’s easier to sell to them in Spanish. On a more personal level, I get much better tips from my spanish-speaking customers than the other waiters at my restraunt, because I can speak some spanish. They appreciate the effort, y me gusta la practica. If you’d like more information about the broader implications of your concerns, google ‘reconquista la raza’

I guess it depends on which side of the looking glass one stands. Within white culture, at least, it seems far more acceptable for sons to date nonwhites than daughters. This seems to be universal across patriarchical cultures (I’ve heard that there are some academic arguments that Black American culture is matriarchical). In matters of both caste and class, it is easier for a man to date ‘down’ than for a woman, because their children will absorb at least some of the fathers standing and privelege, branded by his surname. It is unfair, and reeks of women-as-chattel, but family reactions to interracial dating are driven by preservation of the status of possible grandchildren, among other things. If you’d like more background on this issue, check out ‘Caste, Class & Race’ by Oliver C. Cox
