I know that the numbers are showing like 10 million Polish living in the USA, but many of them forget the language and are considered as Americans.

Lots of Polish live here. Most know or learn the language. That is one of the nice things about European immigrants. They share our own feeling that immigrants should learn the language of the country where they move to live.
However, while most are 'just Americans' with a Polish history, there are a lot of communities that still 'ALSO' speak Polish, fluently. There are a number near Chicago, for example.

a. I am Polish and German. (Mostly Polish.) I live in Chicago, like many other people of Polish descent do. (Almost 1/4 of all White people in Chicago are Polish. It also supposedly is the "second largest Polish city in the world, outside of Warsaw.") I believe the population of Polish people in America (in total) is almost 9 million.
b. I know a few words in Polish, but am learning the language slowly. ;) I am the fourth generation born in America, so I don't speak the language as well as my parents or grandparents do.
c. I have a lot of friends that are Polish immigrants, and all learned English within six months of living here. (They have accents, but it's still easier to understand them then it is to understand people speaking in ebonics…) Also, most people know their ethnicity (or ethnicities) and are going to put them down if they are asked about them.

What does it matter? Why don't you go to another non-english speaking country and see how difficult it is to assimilate into that culture.
