      Do you truly believe that matters to this regime? That it would matter to ICE officers charged with capturing you?

      It’s certainly a comfortable thought to consider yourself “the exception,” but it’s dangerously naive. Racists hardly care if you speak English. Complaining about immigrants not speaking English is an easy target to hit, especially since the people being complained about can’t argue back. That doesn’t mean they like foreigners who speak English. If they wanted to complain about you, they’d just pick some other thing that makes you “different.”

      You’re still a foreigner, and there are enough fascists out there who don’t care what else you are.
