When writing about the use of Greenlandic and Danish language in Radio Greenland, then please remember, that the postcolonial Danes in Greenland only counts about eight per cent of all the inhabitants in our country, including the childrens of these Danes.
And remember that the Greenlandic journalists in Radio Greenland are very repressed by their Danish colleagues.
The Greenlandic journalists may even like that repression, because it releases them out of their common obligations in providing service to the public.
These Greenlandic journalists translate the messages into the Sanish language in very childish Greenlandic and the Greenlandic messages into very childish Danish.
The superficiality among both the Danes and Greenlandic journalists is very much more present in Greenland compared with all other places in the world.
