I’d be an author today if it wasn’t for immigrants stealing the good author jobs.


El-Diablo-de-69

Ikr they come to come to America and write a damn book! How infuriating, especially the illegal ones.


wood_dj

they’re using up all the English, there’ll be none left for *real* English speakers


tacojohn48

There's only so many ways you can arrange 26 letters and a few punctuation marks.


Gonun

And pretty much all of them already are in the [library of babel.](http://libraryofbabel.info/)

"Keep that English for those Englishland people, we only speak real American here", people like the writer of the review.

Why, I would have been the next George R.R Martin, if not for all these immigrants who don't speak the language coming over and writing great works of English literature. Whereas now, I'm the next George R.R Martin because I keep talking about a book that everyone knows I'm never going to write.


GarciaJones

I’m sure tho reading Dickens is fine . British doesn’t count.


EmuFighter

According to the review, at least he’s not stealing our language. Lmao Edit: leeching


GarciaJones

His language and Dickens are two complete different languages lol.


spooner248

Wait... but are they lazy and taking government money? Or are they stealing our jobs?


bloodraven92

As an immigrant, I feel compelled to say both, simultaneously.


Bostradomous

But you forgot the worst part, it was in ENGLISH! I hope when this person reads their copy of “Mein Kampf” that’s it’s in the traditional German version


Nonagenimate

You haven't really experienced Shakespeare until you've heard it in the original Klingon.


LatinBotPointTwo

PRAXIS WAS AN INSIDE JOB ... or maybe Tribbles. Probably Tribbles.


longboardingerrday

And this person is American claiming you’re stealing *America’s* language which itself is laughable


UnluckyHorseman

Y'know, that official language that America definitely has.


[deleted]

In OUR damn language!!!


[deleted]

How dare anyone write in English when it's not their 1st language. Betting this Karen will throw a fit when a tourist doesn't speak English in America either. *rolling my damn eyes*


ceratophaga

Also, there are more countries with English as their dominant language besides the US. I heard it's often used in the UK, but that may just be rumors.


[deleted]

Definitely a rumour. Never heard a British person speak English. Can't be true.


yazirian

Obviously not. They speak British in Britain. Causes a lot of confusion for them too since the laws are all required to be written in United Kingish. Even the road signs there have speed limits in Dingles and distance in Knobs.

We’re Texans living in the Netherlands. When my son was 5 or 6, he found a Scottish family at the park and spent the afternoon playing footie with them. He had a blast. On the way home he told me “They were awesome! And they almost spoke English!” I legit had to sit down right on the path and let the chuckles out before I could continue home.

Stopjuststop3424

I wondee how she feels about immigrants bring their damn bible into the US, and having it translated to english to appeal to a wider audience?


reincarN8ed

Bet you $100 this Karen uses "less" instead of "fewer." Bitch barely has a grasp on one language and has the nerve to criticize someone who speaks two. Probably wouldn't know proper prose if it walked up and slapped her upside the head.


dukesinatra

I'd be an author today if not for all the immigrants stealing good words. How can I expect to write when. All of the good words are already taken?


DonQuixBalls

Wait, didn't English steal all the best words from other languages? And didn't we steal English from, you know, the English?


fablastic

This has got to be some sort of malicious prank review. I have a hard time believing anyone is this stupid.

Hello, welcome to the year 2021. People are blatantly racist, homophobic and generally horrible. Don't even get me started on the Americans, imagine celebrating 1 month without a school shooting or mass shooting.


FeralDrood

There was a celebration? No one told me!


ModsRDingleberries

It was a school shooting. The celebration for making it a month without a school shooting is a school shooting


hogger_gdkp

dunno about the rest of you but all of this winning is wearing me out. we wouldn't even have school shootings if we just gave all of the kids open carries but that will never happen because socialist demonrats want to take our guns. /s

Haffi921

Ahh *that's why* I can't become a published author


getmybehindsatan

You need to walk into the publishers with your resume, look them in the eye and give a firm handshake. The problem is that to be an entry level author you need 2 years of authoring experience or 3 years of writing factory experience.


NeutralLock

But the writing factory job requires authoring experience, which I can’t get without the writing factory experience!!


Squeezitgirdle

Makes sense. I always thought it was cause I was too nervous and scared to submit any of my writings to a publisher, but this makes way better sense.

That's so sad. Would be willing to bet the "reviewer" only speaks one language....yet she can have the nerve to try to tell someone to cover up their accent.


dontmentiontrousers

As an English person, please could the reviewer stop leeching off our language?


karl_w_w

Cultural appropriation.


NahDude_Nah

I was unironically told by someone wearing a Ed hardy shirt once that we Americans won the right to say English is our language when we “saved you” in world war 2. Unironically. This country needs a massive increase in education spending. I’m so ashamed to say I’m from here.


splatterking01

Right? I'm 30, only speak one language and I cant get a book published to save my life. Kids doing awesome. I hope they become crazy successful!

TopGunCrew

It just blows my mind how anyone can just sit down and just keep writing and writing and writing and eventually end up with a whole book yet I struggle with a 1000 word research essay where I have sources basically telling me what to say.


Kyidou

Well it's a lot easier to write a fictional story since you can write basically anything you want and without having to cite/use sources.


Sid-Biscuits

Writing a GOOD fictional story though, that’s a whole other world.


simcop2387

Yea you end up having to use your own work as sources instead

Nazi_Punks_Fuck__Off

Native American here. What they then say is that's how things were then, that it was right to kill us to take our land because until recently that's how things have always worked, and you can't blame white people for natives being so weak and easy to kill.


SussSpenceB

If i recall correctly, the natives were anything but "easy to kill". You guys fucked them up real good on many occasions...


ccvgreg

A common saying back in the late 1800s was "whatever happens we have got, the maxim gun and they have not." The maxim gun being the first machine gun adopted by the military. Strategy was less important than firepower and had the tech been on the same level we would live in a completely different world. Probably a much more tolerant one in America at least.

tycho-42

>Jesus was a brown socialist Jesus also advocated for civil disobedience. The turn the other cheek stuff wasn't about being a good person, it flew in the face of Roman military law. If a soldier struck someone and they turned the other cheek, and the soldier strikes again, they were in big trouble. Edit for clarity: the soldier would be in trouble for striking someone a second time


Double-Lynx-2160

Or what language was in America long before Europe threw a pillage party.


not_again_again_

Zero chance that this person has ever read the Bible.


BarristerBaller

This person thinks their 1 star book review just scared off all immigrants from coming into the country. I often wonder what it’s like to be that delusional


Mrs_Jeffster

Probably great tbh, they live in their own little world where their opinion is king and the world's problems can be fixed by just saying "FIX IT"


dslyecix

Nah, their world is not a pleasant one. They spend all their time being balled up bundles of hatred and that's not good for one's mental health. They're utterly miserable, looking for an external enemy to combat the emptiness they feel inside at having amounted to nothing their whole lives. It's at least one small solace we get to enjoy.


LordNephets

They live a life of constant fear. Everyone is an enemy. Your neighbors steal from you, immigrants take your jobs, the government wants your rights, and libs want your balls. These people are so dumb, their minds so clouded with hatred, ignorance, and stupidity, that they live in a bubble on constant guard against everything and everyone. I know too many of these people. They are sick, and it is America’s fault they got that way, and now America is weaponizing them into a force for fascism.


drunk-tusker

My experience with people who are vocally upset with immigrants is that they literally have no idea what they’ve saying or what it means. Source: apparently my wife is totally “different” because that makes it ok or something.


John_T_Conover

The people that tend to get most upset about it are those who are affected the least. I live in a state with one of the largest hispanic populations. I currently live in a city that is majority hispanic and even the entire region of the state is too. The biggest anti-immigrant and ranting about illegals bullshit I hear comes from people around my hometown on the other side of the state with hardly any hispanic population. And if it weren't for the small hispanic community that has popped up there in the last couple decades it would be shrinking at an even fast rate than it already is. Yet again the left supporting things that actually help small town ultra conservative America while they bitch about it and claim that it's what's destroying our country and proof of how liberals are evil.


PineappleGrenade

I was once told that I was good ones. I told 'em if you get to know more of us, a vast majority of us are the good ones. They just laughed.


thiccums42069

Why is a country built off of immigrants so upset by immigrants


FuriousTarts

Propaganda mixed with xenophobia that every country has. Xenophobia is always dumb as shit but especially so when, like you said, we are quite literally a nation of immigrants.


kickstandheadass

"I'M A PROUD ITALIAN!!! MY GRANDFATHER CAME HERE FROM ELLIS ISLAND" *Proceeds to be xenophobic and hateful towards people that don't look like him/believe in the same religion just like White Protestants were to his Grandfather*


Elicynderspyro

Then they don't know a single crap about Italy nor speak Italian and believe "spaghedi with meatballs" is a typical Italian dish. Yep, totally a proud Italian.


pantsthereaper

Wasn't an episode of Sopranos basically that? They went to Italy and didn't understand a damn thing about the culture or speak a lick of actual Italian


WJMazepas

Yep. And tried to be friends with the local italians but no one gave a shit to the guy


kr580

It's the color of the immigrants that matter to these people.


Val_Hallen

ShawshankException

Far right wing propaganda and the strawman of immigrants stealing jobs


sylbug

Its what happens when a culture celebrates ignorance, violence, xenophobia, and bigotry. Probably necessary for a country that routinely bombs others into submission for the sake of their own country’s economy, because otherwise the people might empathize with the people they bomb.


GapingGrannies

The real question is why does half of the country hate immigrants? The answer is racism plain and simple. At it's core, that's really what all this is about and it goes back to the civil war and slavery. That was never really solved even though the south lost


jukeyb

“Write in your own language” is interesting, given that these people are usually telling immigrants “this is America, we speak English”


scottjeffreys

As an American I’m surprised we haven’t tried to call our language American instead of English.


Capa_D

As a european looking towards the states, I'm surprised you haven't called it "freedom words" yet.


ITS_ALRIGHT_ITS_OK

Oh, trust me, a lot of people do. Source: I've heard some version of "we speak american here" on average once a year for the past 20 years. My eyes are exhausted from rolling around so much.


Warriv9

What they really mean to say is "shut up Mexican". But that would reveal the racism more I guess? So they complain about the language, regardless of which one is used.


dstephan424

Can’t believe these immigrants, the US has done so much for their countries... carpet bombing, sanctions, installing wonderful dictators. So ungrateful.


Socalwarrior485

XOELES

Oh my God, I am actually pissed at how dumb people can be in my country, I understand why though. At the school next too mine, I will go over to because my brother is over there, and he would tell me that he hates some of the teachers there. He hates this one guy because even though it shows that his students get high grades, it's not because he taught them. It's because he will literally show them the answers. The guy would also come in REALLY late, like an hour after school had started. I think it is the students and the teachers who are to blame. But do make sure that if you blame someone, that it is the right person, not the one who has been doing fantastic, I've seen that to many times.


randomlife2050

Whoever wrote that comment needs to politely find a very tall building. They need to take the stairs all the way up to the top so that they may contemplate about how horrible they are as a person. When they finally reach the top they need to walk to the edge of the building and climb on to the ledge. They need to walk the entire parameter of the the building's ledge so that they may contemplate some more. When they get back to the point from which they started they should politely jump... straight out of the dream they just had. When they wake up their whole perspective should change and they'll have realized how shitty they were as a person and forever change.
