Asian Store signs racist?
Are Asian store signs which are written in their native language in North America racist?
(The signs have no English translation)
Naturally it is a foreign language, that's the point. If I can not read the sign, what is the business owner saying to someone who cannot read their language?
No, I am not a ******!
Why is the part of town called china town in north america? Other ethnic neighborhoods arent called, piccola italia or Deutschstadtteil .
NDN Baby doll you are right!
The Europeans came and "strong-handed" the native away. It is racist. On some reservations in Canada ,BC I saw signs written in the native language with the English translation under it too. I see it so, the Natives do not have to translate their signs because it is there country. If they want to share the culture/language then they should tanslate it as well.
That is the point. If the people want to share and assimilate and be part of the new country they moved to they should show interest and respect to the other people who also live there.

The only thing that annoys me more about foreigners practically invading the British land is when the speak and write in their native language. They are on OUR soil. A few months back I was walking up my own street and saw a sign on a phone box. It was an advertisement. Written entirely in Polish. What kind of nerve do these people have advertising in a non-English language in bloody England. It's stupid and should keep their foreign tongue to their own countries.
