The First and True Language of America

(I’m waiting in line behind a woman speaking on her cellphone in another language. Ahead of her is a white man. After the woman hangs up, he speaks up.)


Man : “I didn’t want to say anything while you were on the phone, but you’re in America now. You need to speak English.”

Woman : “Excuse me?”

Man : *very slow* “If you want to speak Mexican, go back to Mexico. In America, we speak English.”

Woman : “Sir, I was speaking Navajo. If you want to speak English, go back to England.”
