DU To think twice about POSTING any comments or things not in English, because there are some who will Abuse the system to chase us off here. HAVE you ever considered why there are not so many known Asians here on DU? Maybe they are not mad enough to come out and challenge the things going on in the Democratic Party. We all love the ideals, is just that some don't think some people of color should be here. Many Chinese American people have told me, they can't trust any politician. SO to get them to come vote you need us, but some of the people here would gladly have, whats little of us left gone.
SPEAK ENGLISH OR GET OUT. They say its rude to speak in our native tongues with each other about public issues.. or go LEARN ENGLISH and then come back. They not only tell that to Asians but to other groups including native Americans. Some things have to change on DU...if you want an all extensive Tent with people under it, supporting your causes, you best allow us to have some leeway.
I agree with some we don't need pages and pages of Comments in another language without some translation but simple comments IN another language should be banned? OR NEVER USED? YOU take away WHO some of us are.
The unfair thing now is European phrases are allowed, but Asian ones are not. How fair is that?
