"Mother Tongue" proves that Schlesinger's answer is correct. Tan's mother faces discrimination at the hospital due to her lack of English. Tan's mother had told her "they didn't seem to have any sympathy when she told them she couldn't wait to know the exact diagnosis, since her husband and son had both died of brain tumors." The hospital didn't care about losing Tan's mother's CT scan, even if it meant putting her health at risk, all because she spoke "broken" English. Then Amy calls to help her mother and says "lo and behold, we were assured the scanner would be found, she promises a conference call will be held on Monday and she apologizes for all the pain my mother has gone through for a most regrettable period.” error" Amy was able to solve her mother's problem because she "spoke in perfect English". The fact that a wide range of races live together has led to discrimination of non-English speakers.
