Bumper wisdom

Yesterday I saw this bumper sticker on the back of a big truck:

THIS IS AMERICA.
SPEEK ENGLISH.

At first I chuckled, thinking that the misspelling was intentional.  A bit of ironic humor.  But then I determined that it was not a comedic bumper sticker.

And that is a sad, sad mark against English-speekers everywhere.

No, surely not. SURELY NOT.

I saw a bumper sticker today that said, "Racism sucks." And I was like, "Well, duh."

How did you determine that it was not comedic? Because I would really, really, like to think that it is...otherwise, that is just depressing!
