A lot of folks seemed to be okay when Coca Cola tried to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, and I guess maybe they thought Coke was speaking literally. Because now that theyre trying to invite us to be okay with the idea of *racial* harmony, people have just lost their freaking minds. Id like to invite all those people who say that America should only speak its truly American language to learn Nahuatl, or one of the Athabaskan languages. Oh, shoot, how about Cherokee or Sioux. Or, Spanish or French or Dutch, which were also spoken earlier in many parts of the United States of America. Also, now might be a good time to mention that no, there isnt an American language. Should there be? Well, there are sufficient grounds to suggest we are in the middle of a communications crisis in this country. But to say English (as in, From England, an imported language FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY) should be The American Language is to court idiocy. As in, youre treading upon thin logic. If youre going to be TRULY American (read: North American, from the United States of America), your official language truly ought be BI-LINGUAL. At least. Aspire to be better, my friends.
