Townsend said nothing until she was in her car with her family, when she told them to never be ashamed of who they are.

"Who they are" are people who reject the native population and its language, and insist on identifying themselves as a separate population. If you want to live with us then join us and use our language. If you do not want to join us then leave.

Well and truly said. People whose native tongue is English are not doing any favors to non-English speakers living in this country by speaking in their language. I speak and understand Spanish but will never converse with anyone in that language unless I am in a Spanish speaking country.
