Definitely an American thing. Wide swaths of the country have issues with any kind of diversity.

I wouldn’t even include all of America in that either. It’s really just a rural America thing. Sure 99.9% of people will speak/understand English, but in my anecdotal experience, it’s pretty common near big cities for people to be bilingual and grow up speaking a different language with their families.

For sure not the whole country. Don’t have to go far into the suburbs to find this kind of behavior, though.
