It is also racist that the post wasn’t available in 15 different languages.

No kidding! LOL.
That reminds me of when I was teaching at an inner city school in Dallas in the 90s. DISD required notices sent home to parents be sent in their native language—a simple “PTA Meeting tonight will discuss...” would be a stack of paper half an inch thick! The cost of printing, collating and distributing that crap on a daily basis could have paid for the salary of several teachers, I’m sure!
ENGLISH is the main language of the United States of America. I’m still hoping and praying that someday this becomes a LAW like it is in other countries so this type of foolishness can end! Can you imagine the money that would be saved??
One of my biggest pet peeves now is that when I go to the grocery story everything on the labels is now bilingual (Spanish)—do we REALLY need teeny tiny print all over the can of beans in TWO languages?? Really? Especially when there are PICTURES of the food item on the package?? C’mon!! >:-(
(Lurkers: No, I’m not a racist. No, I don’t mean everyone has to speak English and not whatever their native language is. But in government and business dealings, etc , ONE language would be most efficient and uniting! :-)
