Merry Christmas bros. May your Christmas Eve be filled with soul crushing small talk.
So, this happened.
I have Spanish-speaking in-laws in town for the holidays. They are comfortably fluent in English, but it's still their second language. Even though they're very well educated and previously lived in the US for several years, they're very self conscious about people hearing their accents or hearing them speaking Spanish. The husband is completely fluent but the wife sometimes struggles so that he has to translate to her. They generally only speak Spanish very softly when in public.
They were at a tourist attraction in St. Louis, and a middle aged woman heard them speaking Spanish, walked up to them, and said "English only! No Espanol!" and walked off. Naturally, this shook them and touched on a lot of insecurities.
First off, how big of a piece of shit do you have to be to do that? Second, it's a fucking tourist attraction. Are we to believe that all racist shit bag conservative white people speak the native language of every country they visit - France, Mexico, Germany, Italy? Third, how fucking myopic can you be that THAT is an issue that bothers you - people speaking a language you can't understand. That takes incredible privilege and ignorance. Fourth, if you're such a sack of shit that that does rattle your shit, stay the fuck out of the city and stay in the tiny town where you and your kin can leech off the productivity and tax dollars of dem tolerant liberal city dwellers.
In conclusion, fuck conservatives. It's a political movement of deluded morons.
My comments are not in response to @Fawlty ‘s post...Well, time to dress up in red and commit some implausible sex crimes. Hope they all leave out milk and cookies.
ChloroformWhat’s that shit they put on rags and hold over people’s noses to make them pass out in cartoons, and where can I buy some right fucking now?
