Ironically, it's a kind of (figurative) colonialism where a ruling class is imposing their culture and quasi-religious virtue structure on other languages and cultures.

And this is not meant to be a political rant - no one could ever call me right wing - but a major reason that Democrats are starting to lose the Hispanic vote is because they are seen as to pandering with crap like this. For context, I’m a minority.

...except this brand new scientific paper from Stanford.
