Univision has a permanent seat--not good enough for you? If there was a national Asian American news outfit, they could get a seat. Al Jazeera has one. |
Jim Acosta is an idiot to have suggested that only England and Australia are proficient in English - a total buffoon!
There are probably more people in India and Pakistan who speak/read/write English in India that there are in the UK and Australia - admittedly accented English but then Australians speak accented English and even within the UK there are multiple accents which in some instances Americans would have a problem comprehending eg the Yorkshire accent or Cockney accent - quite apart from a Scottish or Welsh accent. |
Nothing about the proposed policy change is overtly racist. Opponents of the policy diminish their arguments by asserting without evidence that there is racism where there is none. It is important to make assertions based on evidence. I doubt President Trump was impressed. It was a poor performance by Miller. Trump knows it will not play well on television. |
Oh look, the small penis contingent got really excited about Miller. |
That was a canned line and poorly delivered. It is not clear if Miller was prepped in any way before he went before the cameras. I doubt Jared and Ivanka will be pleased. |
Only about 10% of Indians speak any level of English and only .02% are native speakers. Pakistan is a lot less. There are more English speakers in Mexico than Pakistan. |
10% of 1.2 billion is 120 million or double the population of the UK |
Ouch! #Highfive |
lets be honest - as a liberal, Jim Acosta is embarrassing. We need intelligent people pushing back against this administration, not fucking JMU alums.
|
How about actually reading? The 10% is not fluent speakers or even proficient speakers. That's any level of English, not the 60% proficient Miller wants. Almost all U.K. Speakers will be at the 60% level. |
Oh noes. The "as a liberal" troll strikes again! |
Note, too, that Jim Acosta's father emigrated from Cuba. |
This pretty much sums it up

Yes. Definitely means not a liberal. I like JA. He is levelheaded. You could tell he thought SM was looney tunes racist. |
Oh bull. Trump lies constantly and 63 million Americans voted for him. As long as he makes "liberals" the enemy, almost as many Americans will support him regardless of the ridiculous, evidence-free assertions he makes. |
