Love that you added that they can’t speak a lick of English. Our national language is English /s

Yep this is just an anonymous racist saying something that probably never even happened or happened like one time and they’re way over exaggerating and assuming some or most SNAP recipients are some type of person they deem undeserving. Just bigotry, racism, classicism, and they do it anonymously because they know it’s all it is. #keyboardracist

They just as commonly don't do it anonymously. This is a common trope from low class racists who have worked as cashiers & are pissed off at the world for being "better" than them. Facebook is full of people who love to come out of the woodwork whenever EBT is mentioned to tell about some time they worked in a grocery store or gas station and saw people "abusing it." Because obviously only low class whites deserve EBT or something like that.

Someone should turn it around and call them colonizers for speaking English in Pennsylvania instead of German (on a county by county level German was more common than English until WW1 throughout the state & some of those families were here before William Penn was).
