You're racist to imply someone is a different color because they speak a different language.

That is what the Coke commercial does. It identifies language to religions and ethnicities. It is actually quite a bigoted commercial.

yes, in the essence we have a centralized govt. But beyond that not having access to the main language of the population you are in significantly reduces your economic and social oppertunities

I just did. It has been shown that people who speak multiple languages are smarter. A nation of monolingual speakers? We'll end up like France, Spain and England. Dying populations of ignorant high school drop outs complaining that multilingual speakers overseas are taking our jobs. Wait... :shrug:

So all the issues in those countries are due to a national language? Then how do you explain the success of China and their use of standardized Chinese?

And yet, this country prides itself on the fact that tens of millions of immigrants came here and became successes in their own right. It just fails to mention that they did it without speaking English. Again, English is a nonfactor - they'll learn eventually - like all other groups. :shrug:

And it's dishonest to claim that your concern is about immigration when your true concern is about white people remaining the majority

It's dishonest for you to fail to acknowledge the fact that the native US population is in decline.

As the graph shows, the white population is in decline, while the black population remains more or less static. The only growth being observed at all is coming from the Latino and Asian demographics, all of which are being primarily fueled by immigrants.

Says the guy who uses correlation to make arguments about STD rates, single motherhood, the effects of declining population, the benefits of marrying in your 20's, and even Lebanon!! :lamo

Stop being so hypocritical.

And I was correct on all counts. What's your point? :lol:

You can laugh at your simplistic slogans all you wish. Maybe the reason you don't understand is since I know multiple languages I am just too smart for you both to be able to understand. I'll try to make it simpler for you.

lol, everyone here can use google translate, joko. It doesn't mean you actually know another language

Why is this a problem for you? These things happen. Happened to Native Americans. It's happening to white people in the US. Start making babies my dude.

Well, according to you, multiple languages = one, so really you are no better than any other monolinguist. Amirite?

According to Joko, if you speak Spanish, English & French (like myself) you only really speak 1 language. If you speak English only, you're multilingual.

It was also a time where you could find easy employment putting together cars or working steal mills. But those type of jobs are not easily available these days and require more specialized skills than having a strong back.

In Joko's train of thought, there are only two languages in existence. English and not-English. We're all philistines.

It's hyphen-Americanism and as one of the most famous progressives said, "But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.”

I might be switching from Coke to Shasta Cola.

Whatever turns you on.

In the USA everyone is free to drink whatever cola they choose, and sing America the Beautiful in whatever language they choose.

IOW:, It's a free country, deal with it.

I agree. We now have millions of jobs for waiters, car washers, barbers, taxi drivers, fast food cooks, janitors, gardeners. As ****ty as turn of the century steel mill work and with terrible pay just in case you were worried about not being exploited.

It's not in decline. You're just upset because white people are going to be a minority

But the way you conflate white people with "native US" is quite revealing. Don't you realize that black people and latinos can be native US citizens?

As the graph shows, the white population is in decline, while the black population remains more or less static. The only growth being observed at all is coming from the Latino and Asian demographics, all of which are being primarily fueled by immigrants.

As I said, your concern is not immigrants becoming a majority. it's about white people becoming a minority

Yes, when you use correlation, it proves causation. When others use correlation, you whine "Correlation doesn't prove causation!"
