I realize that, and so should immigrants who come here and wanna bitch that we're trying to suck them into the stereotypical American culture. Maybe 200 years ago you came here and did things the way it was in the old land, but we have established some things since then.
Immigrants don't bitch that no one speaks their language! They know what they're getting into when they enter a country. Also, they're generally pretty glad to be where they end up. They often come from oppressive home countries.
I bet if you had your way, you'd change America's motto to "America: Land of the free.......just do everything we do or we'll ship you out."
