It explains the fight of the Nashville, TN city council struggling with the concept of passing "English only" resolutions for all city government business. This is what one city councilman said: But City Council member Jerry Maynard called the proposal “mean-spirited,” adding, “It smells of racism.”
Really? Racist? Please explain how this is racist. This is one thing that pisses me off to no end. People cry "racism" with no backup, no facts to support the charge, just a simple, generic cry of "racism".
What about the millions of Americans, who aren't white males, that DO speak English? Are they racists, too? What of the millions of American citizens who immigrated to this country, and decided to learn English to let them assimilate better? Are they racists, too?
The cry of "racist" is all too often used as a mask to really say "hey, I dont agree with what you are saying, and have no logical argument to refute yours so I have to call you baseless names which make you look like a bad person".
Seriously, why would an English only government be a bad thing?
