I got robbed by knife the other day and the first thing my trump loving uncle said was it was from those darn illegals. Meanwhile the real culript was a messed up mentally ill local white dude because the country doesn't take mental illness issues seriously.
I've had the same interaction.
Well when putin and his government run America, you will be required to speak Russian, so... 'press 1 for English' will still be a menu option. And, I've never met a 'conservative' who wasn't racist.
That would be "press 2 for English"
English isn't even the official language of the United States --- we don't have an official language.
Various states have official languages (19 states + DC don't have any official language); of these states, English is indeed official, with a few states also recognizing native languages as official alongside English.
Of course that's beside the point, as even calling this sort of racism "thinly veiled" would be far too charitable.
America not having any official language is intentional.
I think English might have been 3rd choice after "none" and French, but it's possible German was even beating it.
Just out of principle, they didn't want to be identified with England by using their language.
Pre-emptive edit before someone tries to argue English is official:
But it's a government website, so you know, part of the cabal covering up the truth
Obligatory sad /s
Meanwhile all the people they’re bitching about are here LEGALLY. The illegals are keeping corporate labor costs down. They won’t send them away.
Well, maybe they also want those "legals" to become "illegals" with some law changes
......we've always had a second language? Hell, what it's been has changed a few times. I've lived in towns where the newspaper used to be in German.
I'm sure op would be completely fine with German newspapers
Depends on what it says in German but yeah probably.
LOL not a single word of complaint about the corporations outsourcing their call centers to 3rd world countries, if they even have human beings answer the phone in the first place
Glad we’re still talking about the real issues. 😒
Since when deporting illegals is racist?
Since when are illegals the only people who don't speak English?
They're not.
So if you think deporting "illegals" will mean you don't have to hear any Spanish etc, you are actually conflating this with deporting basically all foreigners and that is racist. All foreigners are not "illegals"
It’s not even foreigners necessarily. There are millions of people who were born in the US that speak a non-English language as their primary language. In fact many of these communities have been here longer than English speakers have been, including native people and the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of territory the US annexed from Mexico, which includes the entire southwest region.
Wanting to deport someone for the color of their skin is fundamentally racist, because immigration, broadly, is a victimless crime.
What is "illegal" is not necessarily always immoral, and with the evidence we have available to us surrounding the effects of immigration, they create more jobs, spend more in the economy, produce more tax revenue, do less crime, and take less benefits.
Deporting "illegals" harms the economy, breaks apart communities, and punishes people for a victimless crime, all because some people are afraid that their neighbor might have a little more pigment in their skin, or use different words sometimes.
English no good speak like caveman /s
