Lungustical representation?

Now here I sit. Am I a bigot, or a racist, or worse? I only speak the English, I do not have a university degree, and feel I am under represented by my politicians. When I look at job criteria here in New Brunswick, its seems the need to speak French is very critical, even though less then 1/3 of the province speaks that language.

Why do the English in this province feel demeaned or lesser in rights? I do not know if this is the case for all people, but I certainly know that of the people I speak with, they feel we are being mistreated, yet no one seems to be willing to stand up and defend the rights or job opportunities of the majority without being made to feel like a bigot, racists, or worse.

This does not feel right to me, and I guess my soapbox starts here.
