I was about to write something similar but then again, nothing we can do now, right? For now you have to decide. Risk getting downvoted or play by the rules.
I'm honestly pretty irked about it. If snapzu prides itself on being a friendly community where the downvote is rarely used and the correct answer to non-English content is to downvote, then I don't see much the difference with the time not so long ago Canadians were yelling at us to "speak white".
I think the fact that "Not English" is an official reason is dubious. In encourages downvoting which is supposed to be against snapzu's core values.
If you told people they should just ignore it (it's not like there's that much non-English content anyway), it'd feel more in line with snapzu's values.

Well, they are not doing it because they want to discriminate the people they just don't have the resources now.

I agree.
