I’ve hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language “This is America, speak English!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

    I think you maybe read something that the op didn’t write? Pointing out that “there are racists everywhere” is in itself not a racist statement.

      This is not an American thing. People around the world are biased against immigrants.

      this is their statement - assuming anyone they hear not speaking english are immigrants.

      it’s incorrect.
