It would seem that some long-time Americans should assimilate themselves and perhaps learn more Spanish.
Times change.
I don't see "speaking English" as being particularly "American." I see it as being more British than anything else.
Being American means speaking Spanish as much as it does speaking English. How many Americans know Spanish? Think about that.
America is no longer simply a former British colony. Not anymore.
