There are many cultures around the world that are suppressed by majoritarianism. They have to face challenges like forced assimilation, language discrimination and refusal to acknowledgement of their unique identity. In fact, many cultures have been identified by UNESCO, that will soon cease to exist - either that they’re vulnerable, or completely extinct. How do you, as a minority, feel, knowing that your entire identity will cease to exist in a few decades? Do you have a sense of camaraderie towards other minorities from other parts of the world, say, the Ainu people, or the Brahui pastoralist?

    If you think that a child counting to 10 in a second language is a cultural threat, you have a persecution complex.

      I think you have a reading complex. They were comparing how they didn’t learn any English until they were in 4th grade, but their baby could count to 10 in English by age 2.

      Which they then went on to flesh out the entire rest of their comment, that they don’t even consume French media anymore.

        Whose fault is that? Their own. I could count to 10 in Spanish before I went to primary school and I don’t live in the US.

        Persecution complex for sure.
