Is it considered as a disgrace when u dunno ur native language? Say u came from a different origin other from teh US of A but u grew up in teh states and didn't really give much attention to ur hometown language to see you slowly remove it from ur system.

It's only a disgrace, if you see it that way IN YOUR OWN eyes.

Well considering what my ancestors fought for I must say I am slightly ashamed that I suck at my language...|
If you hear me speak it... They think I am someone raised overseas...

I do not think so. But I do know people who think that it is. I do not care about it though.

I believe that is called assimilation

Its not a bad thing, though if I were you I would take some interest in your non-American culture.

In fact, when a lot of Italians moved here, they did not encourage their children to speak Italian since they wanted them to become accepted in the US.
