I’ve hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language “This is America, speak English!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

      Do you expect two people from the same country who moved to the US and live in the US to speak English to each other?

        To each other, of course not. But to others, yes.
