I have said this before, I am the third generation removed from immigrant status. My great grandfather's on both sides of my family came here from other countries. One from Canada (maternal) and England on the other (paternal).
I am sure they both faced more questions than people do now. If you are going to migrate from one country to another with the intent of becoming a citizen of this new country, learn their culture and language. That's not saying give up your own ancestry. Just learn to live among your new countrymen.
No one should be required to learn the language of a group of immigrates. No. This should never happen. If I wanted to migrate to Russia, I would be required to learn Russian, adapt to their culture, and rightfully so. I came across an article on RT.com which told the Educational Minister of France has suggested that French kids in France should learn Arabic. No. The Arabic kids which have migrated to France should learn French. If the Minister has to offer it as an elective, fine. Just not a requirement.
