People will no longer be able to rely on language barriers as a socially acceptable form of discrimination.

And so, discrimination may soon become much more obvious.

I'm a white guy so what do I know, but I'd imagine the "performed racisim" is much worse than the "spoken racism", and it seems to me it wouldn't meaningfully be affected by a lack of language barrier.

I'm thinking of just not hiring someone, "forgetting" to be inclusive and so on.
