More and more people speak it on a global scale, you shouldn't celebrate the disappearance of non English cultures.

I wouldn't be so sure, I've been in arguments with a whole lot of people that were arguing that racism against my nation is impossible because it's mostly white...

What?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism

Racism is discrimination and prejudice against people based on their race or ethnicity.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnicity

An ethnicity or ethnic group is a grouping of people who identify with each other on the basis of perceived shared attributes that distinguish them from other groups. Those attributes can include a common nation of origin, or common sets of ancestry, traditions, language, history, society, religion, or social treatment.

It's possible to be racist towards anyone. If you're white go spend a couple of months in China and you'll understand that after being told by multiple people that intelligence varies by skin colour and white people are in the bottom half.

"Oh no, French Canadians use words in their second language based on their definition, what a bunch of exclusionary shit cunts!"

You should really go sit down and reflect on the way you just acted.

Just pointing out the ridiculousness of the "it's a foreign language" argument.

There's no universities in a first Nation language and the official language in Quebec is French. I would be the first one to vote in favor of teaching kids a first Nation language, there's 11 families of them in Quebec alone so a common language is necessary and in Quebec that's French.

Members of first Nations are still free to go to school in whatever language they choose and the headline is just bad, at university level everyone can go wherever they want, it's the English universities that will lose financing if they don't get 80% of students from other provinces and out of country to reach level 5 French (out of 12 levels to be considered perfectly bilingual), that's just enough French to be able to understand an everyday conversation.

Do you consider that all other provinces do language discrimination because people can't go to university there without knowing English?

The Pope has been denouncing the conflict and asking for the killing to end from the beginning.

See there's this thing we call "a definition" and that word is appropriate to the situation and if you think "foreigner" is pejorative then you're the one who's got an issue...

The law states that English universities can take in whoever they want, 80% must finish their degree having reached conversational level in French otherwise English universities will lose part of their funding (when they're the universities that are the richest in the province).

That's not language discrimination, that's just bad journalism.

Then so are first Nation languages since we all come from Africa.

When all the online interactions you see concerning your culture are people who barely have any knowledge of it taking a shit on it, you tend to not have the patience to be the bigger person.

Heck, 100 years ago someone from four villages over was considered a foreigner...

Then lead by example.
