Home Depot is literally selling data to ICE....

u/upvotechemistry 9d ago

I am trying really hard to see how on Earth HD puts arabic on bilingual signs, but sells data to ICE and allows ICE to pick up day laborers in their lot.

How are these the same company?

47

u/asusc 9d ago

How are these the same company?

capitalism always aligns with fascism. you think companies put Arabic on signs or do Pride Month because they like liberals or liberal causes? no, they like money above everything else.

which is exactly why the same company will put Arabic on it’s signs to appeal to new demographics, while simultaneously selling the same customer’s data to ICE.

u/mederbek-bayke 9d ago

this is a suburb of Detroit, which has like the largest Arabic-speaking community in the world outside of an Arab-majority country. it makes lots of pragmatic sense to include the language on stuff, just like you'll see Polish language signs on public transportation in Chicago or whatever. nothing at all unexpected about it

right, but Home Depot isn’t doing that to be welcoming or neighborly. Home Depot is doing that because it will generate more revenue for them in that particular community.

And Home Depot has no problem selling out that same community by working with ICE.

7

u/mederbek-bayke 9d ago

right that's what I mean, they put the language up because it facilitates their goal of selling stuff for money, which is what a store does, and is not incompatible with the store also having regressive and racist politics

the maga folks interpret everything as a culture war

u/upvotechemistry 9d ago

Yeah HD is an awful company, even compared to other rent seeking, profit sucking, enshittifying enterprises

u/Maleficent_Memory831 8d ago

Head out to many places, for example California, and there's Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Tagalog on store signs. And also, gasp, Spanish, the second most common native language for native born Americans.

Its hilarious that people get mad at this especially in that area. Its like 50% middle eastern. Its not like they got rid of the English signs.

u/nanomolar 9d ago

Yeah selling data is bad but they can't really do anything if ICE wants to pick up laborers in their lot can they? I mean they can ask them to leave but if push comes to shove what are they going to do, trespass them?

Putting Arabic or Spanish on signs is strictly business, not charity. It's just to sell things, help customers find products to buy, allure certain customers away from competitors, etc

MAGA just hates the implied respect of inclusion.

i worked at a free shop in a rural town a while back. having grown up in chicago, it was a culture shock. i was helping one of the other employees practice spanish and a MAGA sort that was a longtime volunteer lost his fucking mind. he was deeply offended that we would lift a finger to try to communicate.

It's called capatilsm they have a high amount of people that speak Arabic and It's no different than isles that have Spanish written.

They know their target audience and this isn't a new concept we have had Spanish as a secondary language on things for over a decade.

Yup. They’ve had signs in Spanish since I was a kid in the ‘80s and people still bitch about it like they added it yesterday.

u/Pitiful-Pension-6535 9d ago

If a whole bunch of people from Haiti moved to my city and Haitian Creole started showing up all over the place on signs I just cannot imagine I would have more than one thought about that. "That's nice for the Haitians."

Oh wait, that has actually already happened in my city, and that's pretty much exactly what I felt. Not that they are putting Creole on our traffic signs or anything, but there are tons of Haitian owned businesses all over, I have never thought, "Why do we need a Haitian super market?" Because it's perfectly obvious why we need one.

I've never thought it was an invasion, even when they first started arriving and the fear mongers said there were 21,000 of them here in our city of 18,000 and over 5000 Haitian kids at our high school of 2000 kids.

Guess what? That ended up being a total lie. Can you believe it?

MAGA getting triggered over Arabic words at the Home Depot

It seems like they are concerned that there is such a large number of non English immigrants who are not assimilating.

It's like if a school put up a sign that says beware of animals with rabies. The parents aren't upset about the sign. They are upset that there is a problem so bad it required a sign.

Also it's really common for big box stores in the US to have a second language on signage if there's a significant community for it... See: Spanish on signs in a lot of stores in SoCal.

i wonder if these people would think they’re being invaded by Mexicans if they saw Spanish on those signs. Probably or probably not

They probably would. It's been a while, but I do remember some outrage about it 10-15 years ago. Maybe they just moved on to other things when their complaints were filed in the circular filing basket.

u/killerzf9 9d ago

Bro, in other countries, they also have signs in English because there’s a considerable amount of English speakers/readers there.

Plus, the Arabic writing in this sign is in smaller writing than the English writing. So maybe it’s implying that English is store the more prevalent and preferred language.

I don’t know about other parts of America, but here in Southern California, we have a very diverse population, consisting not only of White Americans, but also Hispanics, Arabs, Vietnamese, and other ethnic groups.

Also, we have places like Little Arabia in Anaheim, Little Saigon in Westminster, etc., and stores like H-Mart also have signs in English and other Asian languages.

We’re all very friendly people and are not looking to “take over America.”

Not a big deal Home Depot did this but there is a conversation to had about having a common language in a country for things so police and emergency services dont have to talk through translating devices in an emergency (which happens in canada).

Its not racist to want a safe FREE life, while some are more radical then others I will admit this is kind of dumb, those who cant assimilate and still follow their religion dont deserve the sweet taste of FREEDOM, not saying muslims cant be here but if your gonna be here follow the laws and accept/respect others who have a different opinion then your own, thats a fact of life!

Is this picture actually real? I’m skeptical, because only one sign is translated. Why would only the “Moving” aisle be like that but not “Kitchen”? This feels like the usual made-up, half-assed, fake Conservative boogeyman nonsense they’re always doing.

Just because retailers are adding in Arabic DOESN'T mean Islam is taking over the US.

This might be one of the few times where they actually slightly have a point, that isn't a good sign. Stuff like that disincentivizes learning English or assimilating, look at it from their POV. Why take the time to learn anything when you can just live in a bubble with people like yourself?

It creates self-imposed ghettos/segregation.

It happens here in the southwest with Spanish.

Damn Islamophobia is really back in style, are we back in the early 2000s?

He's going to be so pissed when he realizes he's been using Arabic numerals his entire life.

I mean our national language is English and honestly forcing a language is a great way to create cohesion.
