"In Belgium we have neighborhoods where 90% of the people living there speak French yet they are forced to speak Dutch in all official capacities unless they specifically ask for French after the fact. Call the police, they speak Dutch first, then you have to ask them to speak French to you. Receive official documents from the community? In Dutch first, then you have to ask for them in French.
And that’s really just the tip of the iceberg."

#2 Yeah, well Denmark must not have drunks, thieves, or kidnappers, and must expect everyone will take care of their baby when they start crying and screaming while they cozily have lunch in a cafe.
