One, we speak English, the language of our colonizer.
Two, we displaced and destroyed countless indigenous languages.
Three, we (not all of us and not me personally…but certain people) get upset when people speak Spanish or any language other than English here. Spanish hate is particularly ironic in Texas since that used to be Mexico and a Spanish colony before that (and indigenous, before that).
Four, our glorious leader recently signed an executive order specifying English as our official language.
This is America, and we speak English.
It really shows with how many of our words were borrowed from indigenous languages.
I’m not from the US. Which words did y’all borrow?
Practically none, except for place-names.
That’s the joke.
