I’ve hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language “This is America, speak English!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

    Yeah I’ve heard people basically say things like that.

    When I have a chance I usually respond with a variation of, “ since the American Indians were here first, which of their languages should we be speaking?”
