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?

    Do you expect a couple of foreigners visiting America together to speak English to each other while they are in the US?

      Homie, stop making shit up. Noone is giving grief to tourists for not speaking the native language of the country they are visiting.

        Do you expect two people from the same country who moved to the US and live in the US to speak English to each other?
