"We are all Americans who should speak English and only English!"

what a load of crap. people who are multilingual are not spat upon. they are too be commended. i've never heard anyone say that we should ONLY speak english in this country, but rather you should be able to speak AT LEAST english.
why is it chic to ridicule americans who only speak english? because they can't speak spanish? they are in an english speaking culture, why should they have to learn a second or third language so they can communicate to someone in their own country?
americans who only speak one language (english) in america = lazy, stupid, ethnocentric
mexicans who only speak one language (spanish) in america = poor, misunderstood, disadvantaged... WTF?
