I’m Sooo Happy about Biden signing TikTok ban bill today!!
Concerning immigrants, is speaking English a sign of assimilation? Should immigrants have to learn English? The US doesn’t have an official language. https://deadline.com/2019/01/tom-brokaw-apologizes-for-meet-the-press-immigration-comments-1202543000/
You have two competing questions here. Remove one so the poll is clear
“Official language” is just a technicality but English is the de facto official language. The law requires basic English skills for naturalization. Speak whatever you want but you need to have at least basic English skills.
The native Americans' language should be the official language of the United States, instead of English, a language brought from white Invaders.
It’s best to just live with the truth. Our country was founded on genocide and built by the backs of slaves and move on. Once good thing Germany does is they don’t sugar coat their history, so they don’t forget. But it doesn’t take away what your country is today and what it’s become. We don’t have an official language because we don’t have 3-4 borders each speaking different languages to cause confusion. It is defacto English. If you don’t learn it, you can’t communicate and you don’t integrate. It’s not that complicated.
Looks like MrHands (small hands?) has skipped history class...
Speaking english is a sign of assimilation. Immigrants to any english-speaking countries should *want* to learn english for the betterment of themselves and society. If they don’t want to they can kindly gtfo and revert back. Source: Wife is an immigrant, I’m learning her language to prepare to become an immigrant to her country
Speaking the aboriginal native American language is a real sign of assimilation. How about ask the white European imperialists who came here and took over our land to actually assimilate into the native American culture and learn their naive American language?
Your trolling would go better if you acknowledge that there are many Native American languages, not just one.
Other than the aboriginal native American language, all other languages should be considered equally foreign. English is a foreign language used by English Invaders, and thus is not in any way more American than, let's say, Chinese.
What about the languages of the peoples that the more modern “natives” conquered?
Well, the white European Invaders didn't bother to assimilate into the native American culture and learn their naive American language. Instead, they killed the native Americans and forced the real Americans to learn English, a foreign language brought by white imperial Invaders.
What's with your entitlement to force other people to assimilate into your culture and speak your language though? Of course we should get on and acknowledge what's already happened. But the unjust colonization should not grant the invaders the privilege to force other people centuries later to speak their language.
Kim Jon, what entitlement? They're in this country so they live by our rules, one of the rules is to learn the language otherwise they can't succeed and will be a burden on society. This excludes the elderly
At the end, none of our BS opinions matter. Whoever is the strong majority wins. If borderjumpers fully occupy this country, then their language will become the defacto. If you go to border cities like say San Diego, you mostly hear Spanish everywhere you go.
I can't stand people who don't speak good English. Makes communicating frustrating and inefficient. If you're going to come to the US and plan on staying and building your career here, then at least learn proper English. There is really no excuse. There are dozens free resources. Practice 30-60mins a night and you will figure it out in no time. The worst when I see people who have been here for 5+ yrs and still barely speak English. Like they aren't even making an effort. Gtfo
I can’t stand people who don’t speak good English [sic] either Do you speak any other languages? Speaking another language well becomes a matter of talent later in life. There are literally certain phonemes that the brain loses its ability to discern as an infant assimilates its native language. There are many sounds that you would not be able to reproduce consistently even with a gun pointed to your head in foreign languages just because your brain can’t register it. Foreign languages are not trivial.
Those who voted No, what's your suggestion to people who immigrate to have a better quality of life, education, career in this country? Wherever you come from, what languages are spoken by the people? Aren't multiple language skills valuable?
Except, “diversity” is a thing because decades of evidence from the private sector proved that a broader spread of backgrounds (eg gender, culture, upbringing, national origin, etc) brought different ideas and overall better designs, products, and market understanding. Exceptions to everything of course but the reason why this is even a thing has nothing to do with politics. Most of the private sector pushes for it because it makes them money. Diversity is absolutely our strength and that was proven over most of the last century. I mean unless you’re a weird fragile racist trying to rationalize your discomfort and fear away through nonsense, then sure whatever “muh western culture”
Let me get this straight. The suicide rate, extremely high obesity rate in children and adults, broken healthcare system, among many other things don't concern you as much as "whites afraid to speak the truth"? Are you fucking ill? That's the biggest problem in America these days?
