Since English is essential to getting by in America, people are more likely to judge a person on their English proficiency. If you speak English well and fluently, you are highly respected. In other words, if you speak "broken" English, they may subconsciously think you are less intelligent than people who speak standard English. However, does a person's language proficiency reflect their complete personality? Since it is not officially recognized that language reveals a complete personality, it is inaccurate to judge a person by their language proficiency. The dangers of tying one's worth to one's language proficiency are obvious as it promotes racial discrimination and loss of identity. Racial discrimination, which runs counter to the equality and basic human rights of others simply because of race or other identity factors, is by far the biggest problem arising from the language link and personality. Since English has become essential throughout the world, people who do not speak English well are often discriminated against by those who speak it. An example is that of Chang-Rae Lee's mother, from the article "Mute in an English-Only World". As a Korean immigrant who speaks little English and mostly Korean, she goes through enormous humiliation and embarrassment because of her "broken" English. While she goes to the market to buy oxtail, she behaves like a mute because she does not know how to speak “Oxtail” in English. Because of this, the male waiter acts rude and impatient towards her, which makes her furious and later goes crazy in the parking lot. However, at the end of his article, Lee indicates that his mother was an enthusiastic student of English who continued to study English until she died of cancer. She turns out to be a person in the middle of paper...... a person? Real judgment comes from interaction. By interacting with individuals, you will learn more about their behaviors and the content of their characters. As for language, it can't reveal much about a person. So, in order to make our multinational society more acceptable, we must avoid ties and show understanding in all circumstances. A person's language proficiency does not reflect their complete personality. A person's accent, tone, and style don't say much about them. You can't learn much about a person just by talking to them for a few minutes. Whether it's standard English or not, it's time to be a little more open-minded. Hopefully a day will come when people will no longer think something negative when they hear someone speaking “broken” or “limited” English. Instead, I would give them a kind hand and smile at them.
