They could have shown people from other cultures and nations, but once they're in America, English is the spoken language of the nation. It's an issue because immigrants now won't even bother to learn English, one of the most basic aspects of assimilation. Instead, there are places in America which are no-go areas for Americans who speak English. They chose to come here-what if I went to their country and expected the country to change its culture to suit me? I'd be that notorious "ugly American". I never want to hear anyone use that phrase again-considering what Americans are expected to tolerate in our own country, no one has room to ever say it again.
