      It’s just the same old ML supporting ethnic cleaning when it’s what they’re told to support.

            I’m guessing it’s a translation issue since the law mandates using Mandarin etc

                You’re saying it’s fine because they’re forcing it as just the main language and not the only one…?

                  Can you live in your country (have a job, pay taxes, buy a house, raise kids) without using the official language of the state? In mine is not possible.

                    These communities existed before today, and seemed to be doing fine.

                    The fact people can learn and use a language, without being raised to consider it their primary language, is what you think you’re arguing. It would be nice if you meant anything by it besides “nuh uh.”

        Yes, like American bigots screaming ‘love it or leave it,’ and ‘stand for the flag, kneel for the cross,’ or other demands to adopt an identity rooted in American nationality with allegiance to ethnic majority culture.

        The ones trying to make the majority language the only official primary language, even in communities where yeehaw jingoism has done considerable damage, or outright stolen entire nations’ worth of land.

        The ones eager to project that, globally, as if sovereignty is when you get to say what people do in other countries.
