Because your parents and grandparents made an effort to speak 'our language'. I'm also 3rd generation, but when my grandparents came over, they immediately learned english, and made their children (my parents) speak only english.

I suppose if they hadn't, along with all of the other immigrants, we would have dozens of translations on packaging and signs, instead of just 2.
