re: Is English still the primary language in US?

quote:We have the most arable land at roughly 157 million hectares only using 17% of our potentially arable land -- and we're the largest food producer and exporter in the world. India is our closest competitor at about 156 million hectares but they use over 50% of their potentially arable land to reach that number and their farming is primarily subsistence farming.
Who told you this? Look at a world map for 5 seconds dumbass.
Also the land in the US requires very few inputs to be productive. We can use inputs to make it more productive, but ground, water and sun and it will grow. And we can grow just about anything we want within our borders -- with the exception of luxury goods like coffee and cacao which our largest trading partner to the south can supply.
Is there another nation in the world that pays farmers to let their fields lie fallow for multiple years?
While I was being a little hyperbolic for rhetorical effect, my point stands. US teabags the rest of the world as far as food production and farmland because of our unique geography.
We are literally living in Eden. It's damn near perfect.

I can't deny the US is a true Eden, but it sure has been overrun in the past few decades by a lot of scurrilous, slithering snakes, which are transforming it into a third-world sh*thole.

You didn't read the part about how quickly it is changing, I guess.
We moved here in 2008, and it was lily white. By 2013, we had to use open enrollment to find a school where ESL and transience weren't the name of the day. The kindergarten class had 11 different dialects... not sure how you learn in that environment, and school results prove that out. By 2020, schools that were 80% white were 30-40% white.
That is a rapid change, and there is no integration, everyone just congregates into enclaves with people like themselves, so there is no effort to learn the language by adults.

That's like what I've heard from my friend in Houston. The area he moved was considered fairly safe just a few years back. I used to visit the area myself, and go to the stores, and walk the sidewalks. He revealed to me just this past week that he now no longer exits his apartment to go around the corner of the building to get his mail after the sun goes down. Told me it's too dangerous. All the cars are broken in, and about six months ago there was a double-murder in the parking lot. Just boggles my mind, and it kills me seeing the whole 'quality of life' degrading for so many people I know.
Just one of dozens of first-hand anecdotes I keep hearing, telling me how fast things are falling apart, greatly due to this massive invasion of illegals and fentanyl going on.

quote:I don't support entering illegally but on this particular talking point isn't that the reason we have Chinatown's, Little Italy's, and midwestern towns with German names where German was the primary language for decades? All those groups eventually assimilated. The first generation doesn't but the following generations do. Just saying, I strongly suspect "they settle in an area and don't assimilate" was used as a talking point for all of them as well.
They settle in an area and don’t assimilate.

That's our family. Grandparents were brought up in German speaking households, German newspapers, etc. WW1 changed that and German-Americans gave up their culture and became "American" because they didn't want to be traitors and be seen as supporting the Kaiser. Some even changed their last names.
I kind of wish I had my German culture back. I've been trying to learn to speak German and my kids as well. We make traditional German foods, etc. as well.
