Many Mexicans who immigrated to the U.S. during the Mexican Revolution came from poor areas and had limited literacy. Schools punished students and intimidated parents for speaking Spanish. The discrimination resulted in language loss and accent marks becoming a "sign of shame." https://t.co/NhCjy04aNC — PolitiTweet.org

Early programmers weren't thinking about the exclusion as a cultural choice — they were working on machines with incredibly limited memory. But their move meant that for many decades, it was either impossible or a ton of extra work to include accents in digital communications. — PolitiTweet.org
