Watch: He assumes English speakers are limited to England/Australia. Doesn't know that India is the #2 English speaking nation.

Just goes to show how uninformed CNN is.

An uninformed statement - not a racist statement.

He and CNN are just anti-Anglo. Acosta's biggest nightmare is what should happen though. Most of our immigrants should be coming from western nations. There's nothing moral about massive and demographic changing immigration.

Maybe he meant speaking English that people can understand.

Most of Africa, speak English as their first language.


It was awesome to hear him say, "you would have to be a complete idiot."

Sad but unfortunately not surprising. I've met a decent amount of people who were accomplished and smart but not that worldly and wouldn't know things like the above ^. One of the VPs at my company didn't even know Chinese people in the US may speak different dialects they all call "Chinese"...

I suspect it was sarcasm, but it was a stupid thing to say, if for no reason than the predictable reaction.

They themselves are so racist and stuck on identity politics, they don't even realize when they expose themselves for who they really are.

Acosta knew what he was doing. Leftist do this constantly. They try to paint the administration or conservatives as racist. And then get them to deny it. Being anti-Anglo/white biased is racist too.
