You've got to be fucking kidding me: U.S. English edition

So the Ohio house passed that stupid bill yesterday. It was sponsored by some Repub with the last name Mecklenborg. Last time I checked, Mecklenborg was a German name and last time I checked Germans weren't Americans, nor was English their first language. So it is nice to know that someone who is the descendant of non-English speakers is such a proponent of the English language.

What is even funnier is that this organization that was founded by Japanese-Canadian immigrant to the U.S. and is run by a man from Chile is a leading advocate of making English the official language. Tools of the patriarchy? Yes, indeed.

Here is a statement from the chairman:

The lack of an assimilation policy for immigrants to the United States is rapidly changing the successful integration ways of the past. Gone are the days of the American Dream and the upwardly mobile society for immigrants. In its place are low expectations and government policies that encourage Americans to learn the language of the immigrants, instead of the other way around.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. He is the whitest mutherfuckin Latino I've seen in a long time. Of course, he can talk about assimilation. He is already part of the patriarchy. duh. Furthermore, what is with the self-loathing? And why do they care so fucking much? I like how he tries to make his self-loathing, xenophobia look like paternal caring for the welfare of immigrants.

Nice one. Way to kick off the Memorial Day weekend.
