Look, I have nothing against people keeping their culture and traditions and whatnot. All I ask--all I expect of anyone going to any country is that they LEARN THE FRIGGIN LANGUAGE! Is that too much to ask?
If I were to go to Germany, I would expect to have to learn German.
If I were to go to Japan, I would expect to have to learn Japanese.
Going to China? Learn Chinese. Mexico? Learn Spanish!
So why, oh WHY is it that everyone and their grandma thinks they can waltz over here--where it's quite evident that the main language of the country is ENGLISH--and expect to NOT need to learn to speak friggin English only to whine, b***h, and moan about how "unfair" it is and how they were SO "mistreated" because nobody could understand what the hell they were saying because nobody at a hospital or court or agency could speak their natural language? I'm not talking about tourists who are just coming to visit or are on vacation. I'm talking about people coming into this country (a good number of them ILLEGALLY) to live, expecting everyone here to cater to their needs.
And you can say that English isn't the "official language". And you can say they have a "right to their culture" and whatnot. I don't CARE. I'm just tired of hearing these people WHINE because we're not catering to them when they can't even be BOTHERED to TRY and learn to talk to us.
