I figured there was more for him to write that. He made grandma look bad but
she said that and it wasn’t made up so let the grandson get into it with grandma.
I heard similar things in school or in stores. People would speak Portuguese and someone would say, “speak English, this is America”, or the same for Creole. I’d ask why it was said and mom would explain America as a melting pot and accepting other cultures.
My great-grandmother spoke only Russian and Yiddish with a thick accent. She’d been in America since the turn of the century but still had that accent in her late 90’s. It wasn’t unusual to me to hear other languages spoken in America.
If she’d simply said “I don’t speak your language” there’d be no issue. But there isn’t a law or rule saying English in America only.
