Indians don't live in Tee-Pees any longer, we live in houses and speak English just like all other Americans.

I totally agree, no offense to anyone but when you come to America you should learn english before you are given citizenship. We should not be forced to accomodate all cultures. If I was to move to another country, could I expect to see the english translation on every item in sight? But at the same time I feel that all cultures should get respect because America is the land of freedom, and if you think America is so great what is wrong with adopting our culture.

I thought it was "When in Rome, do as the Romans." I could be wrong. No, this advice makes perfect sense, especially if you are fond of your own head and don't want it chopped off. Of course, in arab countries you may still get your head handed to you just for being a Westerner.

I don't agree. You should do what you think is the right thing regardless of where you are.
