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?

    Many people presume that if someone is speaking a different language, they are talking shit. I’ve regretably been one of them, but sometimes you aren’t wrong (RE Chinese people who speak Chinese and the "ABC"s who don’t)
