- Abstract
Moreover, language is embodied by speakers and perceptions of a person's language use are inseparable from the ways in which they are racialized and the effects of racism.[2] Languages themselves are placed in hierarchies that position "European languages as superior to non-European languages".[2] And so, a White French-speaking patient may be seen, heard, and cared for in materially different ways from one who is not White (or one who speaks a non-European language). And so, while linguistic diversity is celebrated, the borders around language are often heavily policed for racialized speakers of non-English languages, particularly in the face of increasing nativism.
