Makes sense, considering...

quote:

Lawrence, MA, is a highly diverse, historically immigrant city, notably a major hub for the Dominican population in the U.S., with over 80% of its residents being Latino, featuring a younger median age (around 32.6), a significant foreign-born population (nearly 44%), and a large proportion of residents with limited English proficiency, shaped by its textile mill past.


Still disturbing.

Personally, I don’t even acknowledge people who don’t speak English in the US. Sorry I’m just not dealing with you in any capacity

Keep believing this isn't being done on purpose and explicitly to destroy the fabric of this country. Of every WESTERN country.

It's not decency. It's not diversity. It's a full on invasion.

Your chances of upward mobility in the job market is extremely limited if you don't speak English. It's becoming the language of international business.
It's also the most specific language. English has several levels between 'cute' and 'gorgeous.' Some languages only have one level... their version of 'pretty.'

Over 80% are Latino, and that equals high diversity? I guess diversity just means having less white people. We know that is what they have always meant by diversity, just surprised they are outright saying it.

I work in fraud ops for a relatively large company. Lawrence, Mass is a hotbed for credit card fraud, insurance fraud, and identity theft.

Exactly. ‘Diverse’ means ‘not-white’. Doesn’t matter what race or ethnicity. Just not white. One of the the many distortions and whole cloth created new terns now recognized as part of the the English language. It’s disgusting.

Ignore any arrogant a-hole that won’t speak English in this country. Furthermore, I refuse to press 1 for English 2 for Spanish bullshite on the phone.

There's a reason that congregated in a climate unlike their origins. Free shite. Cut it off and maybe they'll all leave.

I get Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California having high Hispanic populations.

But Massachusetts?

Where’s the New Hampshire city with a Japanese mayor? Or the Colorado city with a mayor that only speaks French?
