Its not like you can just learn a language overnight. Why should they have to learn english? Because you can't understand them? Well why don't you learn their language then if it bothers you so much.

There are too many uppity people in the US...



well you can come and slap me then. it has nothing to do with being uppity. it just gets me fired up when i've been here my whole life (and i'm not claiming i'm part of a lineage of one of the original families to be here or any crap like that), and some japanese people who own a business (so they must have been here a while) sit around and talk japanese in front of me. obviously i would be slightly upset that i can't understand them. if it upsets them that they can't understand english-speaking people, they should learn english (like most americans would be expected to know, so they can communicate in america).
