Just when i thought the progressive state of MN spoke on Super Tuesday, I get a phone call and an email that throws me off balance.
Background: I uploaded a bilingual job posting for a couple openings in my company.
The Call: An unidentified caller confirms that it's me he's talking to and says, "We have enough illegals in this country!!!" He hangs up on me mid-sentence.
The Email: "THIS IS AMERICA ENGLISH IS THE COUNTRIES LANGUAGE USE IT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ENGLISH MOVE OUT"
My Response: "Thank you for your feedback.
The last time we checked the United States of America does not have a declared official language. Approximately 82% of the American population claim English as its first language. The remaining 18% speak a diverse collection of other languages.
We are an equal opportunity employer who welcome people of all languages and cultures, including the 18% not represented in the majority.
FYI - the possessive form of country is country's, not countries."
Regards,
