People need to learn the current native tongue in the country they settle. Not the other way around.
Exactly. Bending over backwards to one linguistic group is just offensive. Too many people came here, mastered the language, and assimilated. English is the de facto "Natve" language here in the USA, like it or not. Forget offending the population with generational existence here speaking English, what is offensive is that so many others from so many other linguistic groups (this has nothing to do with "race" or ethnicity) DID come and DID learn and made the effort in a rapid and responsible way.
