Hello again, 
So today it's going to be another rant.  This is another example of something that really gets underneath my skin.  Number 1, in the United States, we have no national language.  Does everyone know why?  Because we are a nation of immigrants.  That is how we started.  That is how we are.  Number 2, if you are going to spout this crap, at least make sure you are not making a mockery of our language by misspelling it and making yourself look like a bigger idiot.  L A N G U A G E.  That is how that word is spelled, dickhead.  While English is our primary language, if you were going to visit, or even live, in another country, you would not be expected learn that language.  You probably wouldn't get very far, but, I'm sure you would be hard pressed to find a car rolling around France that says "This is France. Our only language is French."  

Just so we're all aware, I am grateful to live in this country, but, our country was founded by people looking to escape tyranny, not to make it an exclusive club for our right-wing conservative asses.  I live in a city where I, as a white person, am the third minority.  And you know what, I think that is wonderful.  I think it is wonderful that I live in a country that is so diverse. However, it is a shame that we do not celebrate our diversity, but rather claim so many ethnocentric ways that it disgusts me.  

You are no better than anyone because you are white and speak English.  That person that you are objectifying, yeah, he works 3 jobs doing things that you are too good to do so he can feed his family.  Get over yourself because I'm sure the Native Americans that we stole this land from would like to have a conversation with you about your English.  

Until next time. =]
