TikToker Calls Out Subtly Racist Message After Spanish Version Of White House Website Disappears

TikToker @kclmft pointed out how the Spanish language version of whitehouse.gov returns a 404 error—with a pointed choice of words as part of its message.

The moment Republican President Donald Trump was sworn in during Monday's inauguration, the twice-impeached former president became the first convicted felon to become Commander-in-Chief—and for a second term, no less.

Trump didn't waste time making good on his campaign promises by signing off on executive orders and revamping the White House website, the latter of which featured a hype video on the home page and the deletion of a Spanish language version of the site.


TikToker @kclmft pointed out the landing page for the Spanish language communications on the website displayed the "404" and "PAGE NOT FOUND" error responses.

"The White House government website, the Spanish version, cannot be found anymore," said the TikToker as she moved to the edge of the screen to show viewers the screenshotted error code.

She then pointed to the suspicious wording choice used to redirect waylaid visitors back to the home screen that many interpreted as racist.

"And in this little box that takes you to the homepage, the words that they chose to use, are 'Go Home.'"

Many thought the whitehouse.gov's wording was deliberate and on brand with the administration's anti-immigration stance.

Visitors to the site also noted other glaring omissions reflective of the causes that Trump doesn't align with or support.

Users on X (formerly Twitter) were also gobsmacked, though hardly surprised.

A Spanish Google search for the White House's website also led to the defunct page; however, the "Go Home" prompt was revised on Tuesday with two more words added for specificity.

It now reads:

"Go to home page."

whitehouse.gov

However, users were still appalled at the prompt before it was changed.





The Spanish language version of the site was also defunct during Trump's first term in 2017 and restored once Democratic President Joe Biden took over the Executive Branch in 2021.

During a debate as part of the 2016 campaign, Trump stated that U.S. immigrants "have to speak English" and maintained that the U.S. "is a country where we speak English, not Spanish."
