Linguistic Decolonization

Students protest use of Afrikaans as teaching language in South
Africa:

Afrikaans was invented by crypto-Jew/Freemason Dutch colonizers
to maintain their tribal identity and avoid integration, so,
therefore, it goes without saying that it never should have been
invented in the first place.

Getting back to this post

"Anglophile" refers to English-language-speaking countries
irrespective of the ethnic composition of the speakers. Jamaica
is part of the Anglosphere, for example.
It is to exclude Jamaicans etc. that Taylor Greene insists on
adding "-Saxon" (similar to how "white" Hispanics call
themselves "Castillians" to exclude "non-white" Hispanics).

One thing I have noticed is that Westerners (including False
Leftists) will mock the accents of non-American English speakers
if they are from "non-White" countries (e.g. India, China), but
will praise the accents of non-American English speakers if they
are from "White" countries (e.g. U.K.), fawning over how the
latter's accents are "fancy".

Yes, I have pointed this out numerous times with regard to our
enemies' appreciation of Melania's disgusting Turanian accent.
"(e.g. U.K.)"
I am not sure this is the best example since English came from
the UK! If anything, it should be non-UK accents which should be
mocked:

"I am not sure this is the best example since English came from
the UK!"
Yes, I suppose you can make a distinction between native
English-speaking countries such as the U.K. and non-native
English-speaking countries such as France, in which case the
U.K. is exempt from my criticism as they invented the language
(although judging people by their English speaking ability
itself is somewhat of a colonialist attitude, but that is
another discussion. Besides, non-English speaking countries also
practiced colonialism (e.g. Spain, France), so judging people
based on their ability to speak those languages would also be a
colonialist attitude, but that is also another discussion.).
"I have pointed this out numerous times with regard to our
enemies' appreciation of Melania's disgusting Turanian accent."
Yes, but even the False Leftists who do not like Melania's
accent would fawn over French accents. (see the "Stuff White
People Like" blog about how False Leftists love touring Europe)
"If anything, it should be non-UK accents which should be
mocked:"
Exactly

I agree. The worst are the (usually rich) "non-white" parents
living in former Western colonies who deliberately converse with
their offspring exclusively in English (or other former colonial
language) instead of the local language. In a further ironic
twist, often these parents' own English is actually not even
that good!

Glasse was born Hannah Allgood at Greville Street, Hatton
Garden, London, to Isaac Allgood and his mistress, Hannah
Reynolds. Isaac, a landowner and coal-mine owner, was from a
well-known, respected family from Nunwick Hall, Hexham,
Northumberland; he was married to Hannah née Clark, the daughter
of Isaac of London, a vintner.[1][2] Glasse was christened on 24
March 1708 at St Andrews, Holborn, London.[3] Allgood and
Reynolds had two other children, both of whom died young.
Allgood and his wife also had a child, Lancelot, born three
years after Glasse.[2][a]

Wokeness prevails!

[quote]Can a person use the N-word as a slur against a black
person in polite urban society? If that person is "anti-racist"
and the target is a black conservative, she can, according to
woke activists in Britain.
Aysha Khanom was fired from her advisory role at Leeds Beckett
University after her organization, the Race Trust, called black
conservative commentator Calvin Robinson a "house Negro,"
according to the Washington Examiner's Matthew Miller.
Khanom did not back down. She told the Guardian that the term
was “meant to be offensive" because it is an "antiracist" term:
"There is no way they are racist. They are meant to make someone
feel uncomfortable, but just because something’s offensive
doesn’t mean you can’t say it.”
So, using a racial slur to make a black person feel
uncomfortable is OK if that person is a conservative, according
to Khanom. And she's not alone. Over 100 scholars at LBU have
signed a petition supporting Khanom, including black studies
professor Kehinde Andrews, who argues that the term is used to
describe "those who are slightly better off and therefore might
not understand the problem of racism." Andrews also said the
term was a “concept that comes out of struggles for racial
justice.”[/quote]
Punching up is admirable. Punching down is despicable. Can you
tell which the above is? If not, read the following:

Similarly, it is despicable for a Jew to call a non-Jew a Goy,
but admirable for an anti-Zionist to call out a non-Jewish
Zionist as a Shabbos Goy. Get it?

A historic example, rather than an example of ongoing activism:
In Paraguay the Guarani language is one of the official
languages and spoken by over half the population.
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarani_language
Southern Brazil was on the same course, but was thwarted:
[quote]The Língua Geral Paulista (Paulista General language), or
Tupi Austral (Southern Tupi), was a Tupi-based trade language of
São Vicente and the upper Tietê River, in the Brazilian state of
São Paulo. In the 17th century, it was widely spoken in the
municipality São Paulo and spread to neighboring regions.
Starting in 1750, orders from Marquis of Pombal forced
Portuguese to be taught to Paulista children in schools. Língua
Geral Paulista subsequently lost ground to Portuguese and
eventually became extinct. [/quote]

@90sRetroFan What are your thoughts on attempts to bring Native
American languages like Guarani, or other languages in a similar
position like Gaelic, back into common use? Decolonization is
part of our efforts, but I also feel like it's more expedient
for Latin America to stick to exclusively Spanish since, as you
mentioned, we shouldn't necessarily be preserving languages for
the sake of preserving them.
