Re: Racism (again)

I don't think that the 'p' word is offensive in that instance, but I also don't think that it is offensive to state that somebody living in any given country should speak that country's language. It is common sense, it aids integration and helps the speaker to receive the services which s/he needs. If any of us had to live in a non-English speaking country, would we not try to learn and speak at least a little of the language?
