I don't have a news article about this to link to or anything but I heard that there were Colombian folk dancers at some event in $LOCAL_BIGGISH_CITY yesterday/today?, and some guy in attendance yelling crap about "speak English, this is America" who was shouted down by the collective fuck-you's of the crowd. (Good.) This would be unacceptable anywhere in the US, but, my dude. The land you are standing on was called Alta California and considered part of Mexico less than two hundred years ago (Spanish colonization of the native peoples is outside the scope of this post 😅). Exactly what the fuck language did you think the name of the city was even in?

The bigots are very emboldened these days :(

It's hard to process all the stupid, these days. Which is why I'm resorting to "stupid" instead of the usual diplomatic "ignorance." It's exhausting.
