Another day, Another Karen, Another racist gets fired

This dingbat actually taped this herself and posted it online. Gotta love it.

It didn't take long from the time she posted this filth for people to contact the radio station she worked for and she got a ticket to the unemployment line.

and a couple of books, one for medical professionals & one for conversational Spanish.

He said the CD's are helping & the medical terms book is very helping, and he's trying to practice speaking more with one of his bilingual assistants. Other than that he's not really putting alot of effort into it, otherwise he'd be much further along LOL.

Then naturally she upped the racist ante by saying black man and brown man after ridiculing the black man for wearing a mask.

Jul 2020

She is ignorant and seemingly unintelligent, yet loudly and confidently describing the situation. She mentions "communism" in her criticism of a private company, likely hired through a municipal bidding processes which, if done correctly, hires the best company for the lowest possible price (exactly what the market economy, the opposite of communism, would dictate). She screams at the work crew because the foreman is giving directives in Spanish. She asserts, "Are we in America?" when criticizing the speaking of Spanish, as if there is legal and official language that people are dictated to speak.

Just a wonderful display of the effect. The less you know and understand about a situation, the greater your confidence in your point of view is.

The Early American press was multilingual. In 1732, Ben Franklin published Philadelphische Zeitung, the first ever German or non-English paper in what is today the United States. Crawford notes that “acceptance of and support of French and German newspapers” was common throughout the country. Die Freyheits-Fahne was founded in Pennsylvania in 1814 and there were at least eight other German papers and at least two French papers in the state by the early 1800s. Americans even founded a French language paper in South Carolina, Echo du Sud, Moniteur Francais, in 1801. The book Language Loyalties notes that the Continental Congress even issued publications in French and German to persuade the local population to join the revolutionary cause. One of those documents was the Articles of Confederation, which you can find here in French.

Then she'd be able to speak those languages when she encounters people who are more comfortable speaking the first language they learned.

I mean, she's going to have some spare time, now that she has lost her job, right? She should use that time to learn another language, I think.
