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?

    This is not an American thing. People around the world are biased against immigrants.

      It’s not JUST an American thing. People are biased against outsiders and people that are different.

        No. That’s not a fix. You’re still focusing on this being American, while it is pretty universal.

      goddamn bro, just let your racist flag fly proudly huh?

      You need to realize there are americans, born here, with generations going back hundreds of years, that still speak other languages. And still get the snide ‘this is america’ bullshit.

      The post may include immigrants but that’s not the entire population. what a chudworthy moment.

        I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.

          this is their statement - assuming anyone they hear not speaking english are immigrants.

          it’s incorrect.
