laughing forever @ white people who say that speaking english is ‘appropriating white culture’ b/c

1) colonialism & western imperialism

2) here are lists of english words with origins in non-western languages, including chinese, japanese, african, and arabic

there’s a subtle irony here if you think about it

To the next white person to pull this argument on me:

I am “unemployable” when I cannot speak English.

I speak English to survive. I communicate well and professionally so that my family can eat.

You’re wearing that fucking head-dress to gain indie fashion cachet. If you take it off, you won’t die, you’ll just look uncool.

Fuck, you look uncool now, you thieving bastard.

“Sorry, I don’t speak my ancestors’ language because of that whole ‘genocide’ thing you tried to pull. I’m sure you’ll be glad to know that there’s been a revival project on since 1993”
