Since we're a melting pot of all nations, just how many languages and what languages should we have to learn in order to be PC?

I know a wee bit of french. How much good has that done me here in the USA?
take a wild guess what's by far the 2nd most useful language in America. It ain't French.

And take a wild guess at how non-English speaking Mexicans in this country don't speak Spanish?

I believe this country is enabling people NOT to learn English. I'm saying that out of respect for the country where you live, you should learn the language.

there was NEVER a national language in this country until Bush 2 attached it to some bill in the past 5 years. There are TONS of hispanics in this country. I'm not saying people shouldnt know English, I'm saying people should know both.

When white people say things like "I'M in AMERICA and I have to PRESS 1 to hear such and such in English".. just makes them sound so darn ignorant.
