Our regular listeners know that BiLingual in America the podcast is a space where we celebrate the strength, beauty, and joy of being bilingual in America, however, there is also the flip side to that that many times comes up during conversations with our guests.

Guests have shared about raw and real struggles and instances where they have come face to face with bigotry. America is the land of opportunity but it can't be denied that it has, throughout history, mistreated various groups such as Native Americans, African-Americans, and Asian Americans. Some people arrive in the US and feel the pressure to become more American while in the recent past, others have been forced to do so through the Indian Assimilation Act.
