This man just asked me to “please stop speaking Spanish” on this plane to NYC (in his defense it’s very early and he’s racist) so the man next to him STARTED SPEAKING SPANISH and then the flight attendant and my GOD i have never wanted to get up and dance more than i do now.— Jaime Primak (@JaimePrimak) July 16, 2019

Amazing, isn't it, that in many countries people can speak two or more languages reasonably fluently — but here in America, most people will take a perverse pride in the fact that they can only speak something that passes for English?

I am amazed at the fact people feel they can tell a stranger not to speak a particular language. WTF
Yet, Americans will go to a foreign country and expect them to understand English. Plus go around speaking English to each other.
Heard this story: over in the UK, two people were speaking something not English. A man insisted that they stop speaking "that shit" and speak English because they were in England.
One of the two offenders turned to him and said, "We're speaking Welsh, we are in Wales, so sod off".
jamie, even better, the Welsh woman was wearing a niqab, indicating she is Muslim. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36580448/welsh-woman-on-bus-shuts-down-racist-who-told-muslim-passenger-to-speak-english
