Why is this bill supporting "Tamil Language and Heritage Month" even a thing? Who does it really benefit? #confused #notnecessary

Can you believe this nonsense? Supporting a "Tamil Language and Heritage Month" in January? What about celebrating American heritage and culture instead of pandering to every group out there? This bill is a waste of time and taxpayer money. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, who is of Tamil descent? #ridiculous
