Speak English

I've been told that in San Francisco's China town there are people who ONLY speak Chinese. Since foreigners come here and establish their own communities, the need to become totally part of the English speaking community is not necessary. Not to beat a 'dead horse', but if our African ancestors came here free on their own will, then I am sure we would have more African-language communities.

I wonder if we would be catered to the way Spanish speakers are treated. Every time I call an automated line, I always hear "press one for English, press two for Spanish". The only time I've actually had a third option is when I called someplace in Louisiana for a work-related project and was given French as an option as well. It just seems unfair to provide these services just to one segment of society and not the others. I keep hearing that Spanish speakers will soon become the largest minority group in the country, but what I want to know is are they all LEGAL?
