The only people forced to learn a language are immigrants navigating a system that is hostile to them.

That’s actually a great question. Here I was thinking I made a mistake not announcing myself as a brown man, but why do we assume all speakers are white unless otherwise specified?
- Comment on Celebratory Return to Online Meme 6 days ago:
Thanks for sharing. I think it’s funny that anecdotes of my lived experience as a brown person gets downvotes, but you sharing an academic paper supporting my lived experience gets up votes.

Idk it’s probably cultural. Most non white people in the US have very little experience with stuff like camping and bonfires. So usually if you are at a fire and there’s a mixed race group hanging out, 90% of the time the guy fiddling with the fire will be white.

- Comment on Good ole review 1 week ago:
That is a valid review. We’re all inundated with professional review culture where they recommend products to us, but we’ve all forgotten that art is very subjective and very personal. If a work of art just hits you at the right place and right time in your life, it’ll move you in ways that you didn’t know you could be moved. And that is beautiful. Telling your friends about that experience is only natural.

One of them defeated the Nazi party and Hitler. The other one was in fact Hitler. American propaganda would have you forget all the accomplishments of the Soviet Union, but you can’t actually take that away from him.

This is actually a very easy choice

It seems you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the problem. The actual cost to educate a person hasn’t changed much in the last 60 years. What has changed is the amount of student loan money available and how it needs to be paid back. Since student loan money is very easy to get, the prices of everything at a university have skyrocketed. Also student loan debt can’t be discharged in bankruptcy and since anyone can get one, the interest rates are insane.
There’s a bunch of downstream effects of these 2 facts. Since student loan debt needs to be paid, only education tracks that lead to landing a job matter which has dwindled the number of humanities professors making the education materially worse leading to less well rounded human beings.

I think they all hate the English more than the French.
- Comment on What's one cliche "Moral of the story" in media that you hate more than anything else? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t mind specific morals I think I mind the way they’re told or if they’re pushed down our throats in ways that don’t feel genuine.
But any time media portrays war as good or cool or badass or necessary. Basically every movie from the 2000s carries a secret pro War message.

Did you even read my comment? I didn’t blame the British (tho they deserve a ton of blame). I was criticizing my grandparents generation for not having enough outrage. My grandparents were born in India and had to leave during Partition.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I wasn’t blaming British, I was just trying to say that we believe very strongly in hierarchy. To the point where we aren’t even really that mad at our colonizers. This fits the culture.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m Pakistani. The subcontinent is super conservative. You have to remember the British rules over us for centuries and all our grandparents want to do is to imitate them.
