Idiot article! Of course we need one main language - anything else cause divisions, isolation and disadvantage. We need to get rid of all of these “press 2 for another language” controls and stick to one unified language and culture.

From the article:

“According to Miller, the Statue of Liberty has little to do with immigrants. It’s only a “symbol of American liberty lighting the world,” he said, and “The New Colossus” poem written by Emma Lazarus is not part of the original installation. “

The Statue of Liberty was built by white people. The poem was written by a white woman. It should be torn down as a symbol of cultural oppression.

To be pedantic, it's not “press 2 for another language”, it's "press 2 for Spanish".

Immigrants speaking every other language except Spanish are expected to learn English. If I were Latino, I would find this notion that I am too stupid to learn English highly offensive.
