Isnt it conceited for English speaking people in the US to not learn other languages?

Seems like many people in the US get mad if someone doesn't speak English. They be thinking if someone comes to the US they better know English or they don't deserve to be here. So how come when they go to some other country for like vacation they still expect everyone to know English.

This is a small example of American Exceptionalism. But going back a while it was considered that French was the language of Culture and Diplomacy. That was French Exceptionalism. Fast forward a century it may be Mandarin. Who knows.?😷
