So explain to me why only Spanish needs to be in safety demos and signs everywhere in the US.
Shouldn't we show the courtesy for Asians and Europeans visiting North America the same way as they are extending the same courtesy when we visit their countries?
No need, because most Asians and Europeans speak English. In most European countries, you are taught to speak English at a very early stage. In Scandinavia (Sweden, Denmark, Norway) we start in the 3rd grade.
English is the world's language #1
