migite brings up another good point, the aversion of americans to languages besides english.
its not even our own language for crissakes.
i was raised in a bilingual household (early in life), and even those family members preferred english because years ago, when they first came here, it was desirable to be very "american" and adopt the American way of life.
I think the general consensus is that the use of or assimilation of other languages into our world subtracts from the culture and integrity of american culture when, in fact, it adds to it.
