Speak English

Many older immigrants complain that they worked hard to learn English to 'melt into' American culture, but that recent immigrants do not have the same opinion about learning English. Do you believe if you are to be a citizen of the U.S. that you should learn English? Why or why not?

Identity

It is often difficult to choose what identity you want to be attached to. Is your family a mix of Catholic? Jewish? Protestant? Hindu? etc. Is it mixed racially? White? Black? What does it feel like to be in a multi-cultural family? Please post your stories here.
