This is worse than if Ryanair validated USA passports by giving a quiz solely in Spanish, with 13.5% at home speakers. How is ryanair so bad?
(note, giving it solely in english would also be bad because it would senselessly ignore well over 13.5% of residents)
- danielfoster 4y agoIt’s even worse than that if you consider how Afrikaans was forced onto Africans by an oppressive regime. The language was allegedly created to be difficult for non Dutch or English speakers to learn, which in turn promoted white supremacy in business and government.
