Look man, speaking another language doesn't mean you stop speaking your own. You can lead by example and do your civil duty toward the collective AND at the same time give yourself a competitive advantage over two large groups, Americans who only speak English and immigrants who only speak Spanish. It's no-risk proposition by which you're able to uphold your own ideals, gain access to a new/vast world and compete in all areas with the overwhelming majority of people around you.

If anything people should embrace the opportunity. In so many other places, where people are not so proud of their own ignorance, it would just be normal for every waiter and prostitute in the country to speak multiple languages. Here something that is obviously not that fucking hard can create an advantage for you, all while not undermining your own heritage and principles in any way, shape or form.
