I work at a retail place and sometimes when Hispanic customers walk in - they expect you to know Spanish and get quiet upset when you tell them you don't speak anything but English. I have witnessed this happen at several occasions even outside of work. I think if you come to a foreign land, you MUST learn their language and their culture. There is no second thoughts about it. We shouldn't have to press 1 for English and 2 more spanish! I can sometimes understand why "Americans" (regular white folks) get upset sometimes.
P.S. - I am South Asian.
I once worked at a place where I used google translate for day to day operations. I simply had no idea what they were saying to me. They were speaking Korean, Chinese.... and anything in between
