Results of one minute internet scan: Approximately 400M people speak English as their first/native language; note that the majority of that 400M would be Americans. Approximately 600M to 700M speak it as a secondary and not all of them are Day Glow white. Probably goes without saying that most of them speak it better than say Sarah Palin.

So, if this is a vile attempt of this racist administration to keep out POCs, ooops.
