To the reader who sent me this: no one’s offended.  We know we live among racists, and being offended by a racist doesn’t help anything.

Perhaps the very greatest thing about being an American is what’s etched at the base of our Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Notably, the poet didn’t mention speaking English.

The folks who were here before North America was populated by immigrants, i.e., Native Americans, didn’t speak English.  Nor did the immigrants themselves: the Italians, Germans, Danes, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, or the rest of the Asians.

Maybe it’s time to rethink the bigotry? You’re a bigger person than this.

Should Speaking English Be Required to Live in America?

From Business Insider:

Yesterday, analysts at the Bank of America said tariffs have raised prices for consumers.  They wrote in a note that consumers have covered about 50% to 70% of the cost of levies to date and suggest tariffs will continue to put “upward pressure” on inflation.

Many Americans believe that the financial pressure that working class people are experiencing will result in massive losses for Republicans at the polls.  While I’d like to agree, it seems that the “average Joe” is unaware that tariffs, cuts to healthcare, etc. are actually causing him pain.
