Evil Americans!

The left in its universal contempt for the average American is always complaining that Americans, unlike their beloved Europeans, only speak English. It is considered a sign of our arrogance and insular mind sets, that most Americans are monolingual. Despite the fact that English is the universal language of commerce and speaking English in any other country gets you a better job.

Yet the left is vociferous in its defence of immigrants who come to America and wish to remain monolingual. Of course I know this contrariness to be common among leftists. It is a symptom of their self hatred and shame to even be American. They find all other cultures to be superior to American and thus even speaking English is a racist and imperialist act. So they consider Spanish and Chinese to be superior to English, because they are not English, that's why! Even though both are languages of imperialist powers every bit as nasty as the US has ever been.

Leftists defend the right of immigrants to remain non English speaking in every way. DMV booklets in every language under the sun, ditto with voter's info. Signs in public buildings, all in foreign languages. So called bilingual education, which is in fact, monolingual. Bilingual pay for public employees, etc, all designed to prevent immigrants from having to learn English.

My friend's parents came from China in the 1940's and 1960's respectively. Neither of them have ever bothered to learn English. My friend has been translating for her parents since she was a tiny girl. She had to watch her mother have serious dental surgery when she was very young. She said she was devastated to see her mom's blood and bone flying through the air and splattering everywhere.

Lately she has been translating the dreaded Plan D part of her parents' Medicare coverage. In essence her parents are infantilized by their lack of English speaking ability. My friend is probably much more capable than most Americans due to acting as her parents' parent for so many years. her brother left the state long ago as his wife did not want him to neglect his own family while becoming the primary caretaker of his parents. My friend's mother never had a better job than a seamstress in a sweatshop.

The other day I was in line at my neighborhood liquor store. A Mexican man came in and picked out a can of malt liquor and a can of soda. He came to the counter and pointed at the cigarettes behind the counter. The Indian clerk pointed to each cigarette pack until he hit the Marlboro's. The guy grunted for yes. The clerk put them on the counter. There were two packs connected together by a flap and "Buy one get one free" prominently written on the packs. The Mexican guy said, "One!" and tried to pull them apart. The clerk said, "One is free. Two for one." The Mexican guy became agitated as he probably could not afford 2 packs and tried to tear the packs apart and give one back. So I racked my little brain for the Spanish for 2 for one and buy one get one free or buy one get the second one free and came up with some retard Spanish. "Comprar uno, y uno es gratis." The Mexican guy understood and said "Gratis."(free) I almost said, Es muy bueno, no? Tu puedes morir mas temprano (Good huh, now you can die even faster.) But I thought he might take it as a racial slight against him.

Aren't the tobacco companies sweet to give people free cigarettes?
