Qasim Rashid, Esq. on Nostr: Funniest thing about racists who get angry at people who speak Spanish but not ...
Funniest thing about racists who get angry at people who speak Spanish but not English is both these languages are foreign to the Americas—with Spaniards arriving ~115 years *before* the English!
For as much as racists want to claim its about language (USA has no official language), in reality it is about skin color as the majority of Spanish speakers are of color & the majority of English speakers are not. Also when was the last time you heard racists complain about French, German, or Swedish?
