      Because they usually talk shit toward people who don’t speak English, so they assume everyone around them speaking a different language is doing the same.

          We invented it to cover up our massive inferiority complex, clearly. American exceptionalism is the balls hanging from the hitch of our pickup truck of a country.

        Its racism, when people message me online and I am not 100% who it is or if it is weird, I response in my second language. If the person knows me, they respond in English and we have no problem. Scammers never reply to that language. But American’s get racist everytime because it looks close enough to Spanish. They are straight out of the idiot handbook; “Speak American”, “Me only habla American”, and sometimes it comes with slurs. Like fuck me for speaking a romance language.
