You might want to step out if you house if you are Spanish in America you are almost only speaking Spanish, and refuse to speak English as the common language.If the economies and political systems of most Latin American countries were to stabilize, and immigration from that part of the world consequently fall to a low, steady level, it is possible that the Spanish language - of which some people here seem so afraid - might very well disappear as a first or even second language in the US (for all statistical purposes).
Some people would have to find something else to panic about unnecessarily.
Go meet some people
It’s highly unlikely you will ever meet as many or as various people as I have, kid. Once again, I know what I’m talking about and you only know what you’re afraid of.
Whether true or not, it is irrelevant. Language is the unifying feature of any culture. Balkanize language and you divide the culture. The common feature of the French is they speak French. The language actually alters their thinking patterns. The language we think in determines a great deal about how we think.
That phenomenon is not what you think it is, and there are many countries (like the US) comprised of a variety of cultures, languages and peoples.
