linguistic and cultural scale: white latinos for example, they are white, but they are not culturally Anglo nor linguistically. Anglos frequently get angry and attack people who speak another language other than English. There is an oppressive culture surrounding non-English speaking, even if they are white people. In Canada, there was a thing where French-Canadians were told to "speak white" (Idk why, it's a European language, and yet...). Basically, linguistic and culture, not race oppression
White people having a prejudice against non-English speaking white people is prejudice, and can be discrimination; which is not a fun thing to experience but those non-English speaking white people still benefit from white privilege, and I wouldn’t classify them as oppressed based on their languages alone. Western countries, which includes Canadian governments, institutionally upholds white cultures while dehumanizing non-white cultures. A non-English speaking white person still benefits from white privilege.
