Is it racist to require immigrants in an English speaking country to learn English?

[rabbid]

The assumption here is that you would learn the language before going to live there. Which is ridiculous. So you get a job offer in Finland designing boats, you're telling me you gonna learn conversational Finnish in however many weeks you got before the job starts?

Or you meet a bad bilingual Japanese jawn and wanna settle down over there.. who tf is learning enough Japanese outside of Japan to be conversational. No one even speaks Japanese like that. shyts not even realistic. Ask Meg the Stallion how much Japanese she knows she'll look at you like you're crazy.

Now learning the language once you're there. Thats understandable. But learning is different for everyone. As long as it seems like you're putting forth an effort that should be enough. The people that move somewhere and don't even try yeah I'm with you, thats nuts.

But if you don't care about that, then you should push for Trump to make English the country's official language and we can revisit this

He did that a couple of months ago where you been

I dont understand why is this such a problem?!? you go to any FOREIGN nation it should be required you off the rip know the language...

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Any country you move to and decide to stay you should try and learn the language unless you're just lazy

And how long are they giving people to learn one of the most difficult languages in the world? When I interviewed for a job in Paris, they were going to give me two years to learn French. Also, how do you know if someone isn't taking classes and trying to learn? This reminds me of people making fun of fat people in the gym. They're there, trying and you want them to be at maximum performance level first day.

You would have to be stupid to say its not racist. When it is in fact the product of colonization. The European forcibly took America from natives who spoke another language. And because they are now the dominant society and have decided the national language is english,they now want to force you to learn it. Borders in and of itself are racist and inhumane. But i understand the need when you create a Babylon Zoo to confine us in

Some of these people don't live in reality. They think only Americans behave this way..

I think 5 years is good enough for some understanding of the language. We're not talking about high level conversation.

nikkas really advocating for a world where you only allowed to be where you can speak

Yall short sighted motherfukkers need to turn off Fox News. PLEASE! This world yall think "makes sense" is a dystopia shyt hole probably ran by Donald Trump. Good God.

My first time ever agreeing with this piece of shyt. Congratulations on being right for once,you were long overdue

The problem you have in the UK is that people who don’t speak the language or understand the culture come to the UK, don’t attempt to learn English and segregate themselves from any part of the culture, try to form their own little community and then still want to claim benefits and housing when they need it.

How can you live in a country for 10 years and still not know how to speak a lick of English.. a lot of people that do this over here are the south Asians and Middle Easterns who want to live in a foreign country but separate themselves from the locals

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Lol, Dont be impressed or bamboozled by this performative nonsense

Starmer is a cvnt. He's just come out this and the "island of strangers" rethoric in the past 24 hours because the Reform Party gave them a bloody nose in recent local elections.

Racist dog whistle politics trying to appeal to shyt for brains bigots who are voting the Reform Party who in turn still wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

It basically sums up the sorry sack of shyt politicians that are running this country.

Quidshop Enoch Powell tripe

At the bolded part - 99% of UK politicians are out of touch c*nts.

 

[Pazzy]

Dont think it should be a requirement because its common sense. if want to live somewhere, youre going to have to learn the language or understand something in that language.

Eventually Tech will make this irrelevant. People will have access to real time translation software.
I'd say less than 50 years before its common.

my friend's bm takes their babies to a sitter that does not speak english. she knows a little bit of spanish be she just use google translate or some other app as needed and life goes on lol
