I speak Spanish.
I don't consider myself racist at all, and I'm usually very understanding. I have friends of all ethnicities, colors, beliefs, etc.
But to me, it's as simple as this. If I moved to France, and expected to live there, make a living there, survive there, I'd make damned sure I was practically fluent in French. The same should go the other way around. It needs to be give and take- I don't mind learning and understanding other languages, but I can also get very frustrated when I see some of the people that come to America to spend the rest of their lives without ever making an effort to learn the primary language.
In Germany, the primary language is German.
In Mexico, the primary language is Spanish.
In America, the primary language is English. It's just how it is.
Now, like I said, I'm not trying to be close-minded or mean. I just believe that in order to make it in America, you should probably know a bit of English.
