I’ve hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language “This is America, speak English!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

Don’t you DARE speak French in France unless you’re a native speaker!
That country is the reverse complaint put forth in this thread.
When I want to France they all treated me with respect because I attempted French first over English.
Same.
Of course, the first phrase I made absolutely certain I could rattle off was “excuse me I don’t speak French well”. Deliver that with a smile and they can be pretty damn forgiving.
