It's been that way for years. Immigration threads smoke them out like crazy.
Official language = thinly veiled racism/xenophobia.
All the EMT bullshit is just that. Many many Americans travel to other countries as tourists and never learn the language, and they don't give a rat's ass about learning the language of each country they go to in case they have an emergency. And many military spouses go abroad and don't learn the language of their host country (not to mention the military itself - which has a nasty habit of yelling in English at Iraqis in Iraq and getting pissed off if they don't understand the commands given).
Contempt here for the people voting yes.
