"44 percent of Californians now do not speak English at home. The state no longer has a common language or a common culture, it’s infrastructure is collapsing, debt is out of control, schools are unusable, public spaces are filthy. The middle class is fleeing California for all those reasons. Normal people can’t live there anymore,” Carlson said.
Woof, Tucker Carlson, straight white man from Fox's Aryan Nation News. Too bad you can't keep your New Year's barking resolution.
I don't know about being 'normal' but I am a middle class white professional working woman living in the 6th economic power in the world, California. FYI: the language spoken in California is English, though hearing other languages is not unusual. It does not bother us the way it seems to bother you and your Fox friends. We encourage diversity, tolerance, and equality, something your network seems to fear. The infrastructure is not collapsing around me, schools are still graduating phenomenal students, and the public spaces I use are not 'filthy'. And BTW: we are thriving under a Democratic state administration.
Your denigrating fallacious rhetoric about California may agree with the perceptions of your lily-white viewers from other states, but California residents know our innovation and verve drives the United States and world economies. People come to California to make their dreams come true. Indeed, I work harmoniously side by side with people from all races, religions, genders, sexual orientations, and countries. That's what makes California great.
So, Mr. Carlson, you can keep your 'normal' people-California does not want them. We're here to stay.
