A new Pew poll released on Wednesday found that 47% of white Republicans are bothered by hearing people speaking a foreign language.
The poll shows that among white Republican or those who lean Republican, 20 percent say hearing foreign languages bothers them “a lot,” while 27 percent say it bothers them “some.”
Only 26 percent say they’re “not at all” bothered. Among Democrats, the number rises to 58 percent.
Pew’s findings reflect the GOP’s growing anti-immigrant sentiment that’s been amplified by President Donald Trump and his crusade against both illegal and legal immigration. Trump often leads chants of “build the wall” at his rallies, and there was a notable moment at a 2018 Michigan rally when the crowd booed after Trump asked if there any Hispanics present.
Pew surveyed 6,637 American adults online from January 22 through February 5 this year, with a 1.7 percent margin of error.
They’re such wimpy, provincial twerps.
Other things that bother them:
The solution is simple. These people should all be taught what the word for “turd” is in a couple of dozen different languages, so they’ll know precisely when those furriners are talking about them.
Then I propose that all those white MFs purge their speech of all foreign words, and words spoken today that have foreign oranges. The peace and quiet will be quite lovely.
When you’re as self-absorbed as most white republicans, you just know people are talking about you behind your back. But when they do it in a foreign language, they can do it right to your face! Also, my guess is they don’t mind so much when the people are speaking German, or French, or Norwegian. They care a little more when it’s an African language, or from one of the Mexicos.
