Just noting this here:

  • Strawman Has a Point: While the snooty white woman in Chapter 61 who informed a Spanish-speaking guest that "This is America. You should learn to speak English," was rude, many people would agree that if you live somewhere, you should know how to speak their language. Alba later reciting the Preamble of the Constitution as a retort comes across very Narm, as well.

Was cut for being racist and misrepresenting the point. The "point" that the strawman here is that you have to speak only English if you're in America. The scene had a Spanish-speaker addressing another Hispanic character. Given the strawman then addresses the Spanish-speaker in English, this is particularly evident. And hey, racist, too.
