It is, though? Like do you think the Tainos and the Caribs were speaking Spanish?
Do you think the Cherokees were speaking English? No, but if you suggested this idea to an American it would not resonate with them.
We make shit up in English all the time, though. English is more gender neutral than English. You just took the already gender neutral pronoun they and made it apply more broadly. Spanish is literally just male and female with a default male that even a lot of cis women have been rightfully critiquing for years.
The comment was more directed at the bit I quoted. Can you even imagine people in America trying to convince regular folks of anything by saying English is a colonial language imposed on them by the dastardly Brits
Do you guys really think the Brits oppressed you by making you speak English?
