The backpedaling of 'It was just a joke!" is strong here,
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.
All the immigrants were driving him mad /s
I've had the same interaction.
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
Funny that in the spanish version of that page there’s no paragraph saying “The United States does not have an official language” like there is in the english version.
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
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"
нажмите "2" для английского
He did reach his goal though
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.
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
