Ok, if you're going to live here amongst the people of a nation where MOST EVERYTHING is in English, THEN YOU NEED TO LEARN ENGLISH. If you want to live here in the USA you HAVE TO RESPECT THE LAW, PEOPLE, AND CULTURE. IN ORDER FOR US TO FUNCTION AS A NATION IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF THE PEOPLE.
No one is asking you to stop speaking Spanish or German or Arabic or whatever language, but if you want to live here, YOU MUST CONFORM TO OUR LIFESTYLE.
If you're a guest in a house, you cannot expect everyone to change their lives to fit your style, YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THE HOUSE AND CONFORM TO THE RULES OF THE HOUSE.
that is all.

| I honestly think you should leave the US if you're young and don't plan on eventually learning it |

No it's not, it's just called respect.
I see this A LOT in the latino community.
If you migrate to this country your duty is to assimilate and conform to the standards of this nation. No one is telling you to abandon your culture, we're just asking that you keep in mind that we live differently here, and for complete unison we need your collaboration, even with something small like learning the language of the land.

i'm joking hahaha
i agree it's a shame to leave your home country for a new one, and then not even learn the language of your new country
this goes for americans in france, hispanics in usa, brits in germany, everybody |

Not to mention English is the language of business, so if you want to really get anywhere you need to learn it.
A strange game, the only winning move is not to play. |

People should learn English in general tbh.
It's probably the most useful language anyone could learn.
Then again, I did give up on learning Spanish a few months ago, so I would be a hypocrite to say people HAD to learn English. |

I needed to get this off my chest. No I don't hate being of latino descent, hell I speak Spanish most of the day, and I love mexican food. But I realize that I am first and foremost and American, and to be a productive member of society requires assimilation.

This is not what we're are saying, we are just saying that if you want to COME LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU HAVE TO ASSIMILATE AND LEARN OUR MAIN LANGUAGE, THAT BEING ENGLISH, IN ORDER FOR US TO ALL BE ABLE TO COEXIST AND BE PRODUCTIVE.

I don't agree with assimilating completly, but learning the common language should be worth while

I know that, but most people in the country speak ENGLISH. You can't expect for everyone to go out of their way to accomodate themselves to benefit a minority.

The current majority is already becoming the minority if things continue. It is said that white people will be a minority in the 2050's

Whites still constitute a HUGE amount buddy, also it's not that whites are dying out, it's that latinos are having more kids than expected.
Still even my parents, who migrated to the USA, recognize that we need to assimilate and learn the language.

| If you move to a country you can learn whatever language you want and speak whatever you want, but if you can't get your point across to anybody, don't take it to the human rights commission. |

Is this bait, a bad attempt to refute what op said, or a really dumb interpretation of what op said? |
