Until the USA adopts English its official and only language I don't see what all the fuss is about.
The US is a nation of laws. Respecting and adhering to those laws is what makes you American. I think too many American get hung up on some vague idea of American culture as it pertains to them while ignoring that America's actual strength comes from the fact that it is made up of differences rather than sameness. Historically, this sort of thing is not common. There are not all that many nations founded on difference and held together by the rule of law (most nations have lengthy history and common cultural, religions or racial ties and many are held together not by law but by decree).
I said it before... get over the assimilate thing. It's retrograde thinking that will lead you back to your colonial roots.
