Hysteria about this is just nutty to me.

I'll bet the people upset about this have no problem visiting Chinatowns in US cities. Or maybe they do.

The U.S. doesn't have an official language. We don't want an official language. If Laura Looner and Charlie Kirk want that maybe they should move to Russia.
