Language ban in Slovakia

Kennedy was a hit for trying to speak German.

There is a huge difference between having a single language for road signs, textbooks, government administration and fining someone a years salary for speaking another language at a public institution.

That it is aimed squarely at a resident minority and not tourism also reeks of racism. There are far worse things then terrorism, one of which is governments creating racist institutions.

I know what you mean, all you need to be is "dark skinned" and running late for a train and pow. You get shot.

I can't believe people axtually think this is a good idea.

Not only is it illegal, racist and stupid, but it will stir up nationaly hatreds across eastern Europe. Oh and the Hungarians there have een around for a long, long time.
