Yeah you basically made an ass of yourself telling people to speak English if they want to live in America; "check your privilege" wasn't the right thing for them to say, but something else a little less woke and a little less nice was.
Edit: OP I get that you feel like the one being punched down on because of the wealth aspect but "speak English if you want to get by here", even when said with reasonably good intentions, is a phrase and an idea that's pretty hate-laced in the history of this place. Being in the wrong here doesn't mean you're awful or unwoke forever or whatever, but like, be nice to people who can't speak the majority language, shit's scary. They're in a weird position and often having trouble with that. Plus if they're rich-ish definitely be friends with them for uhhh material reasons lol.

It's not what I want. It's what our mutual friend wants. Other wise I don't care.
There's too many levels of "my friend said" here for me I guess rip
