Why do some Americans get angry at other people for not speaking English? - Lemmy

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?

They are bigoted and racist.

What gets me is when they complain about Spanish, a European language. Where does English come from, you may ask? Oh right! Europe!

So they’re proud of speaking a language that’s not even 'Merican. Learn Navajo, Comanche, or any of the several native American* languages, then we’ll talk.
