East Asians don't integrate into Western culture

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Why wouldn't they speak their language the same way I speak my dialect?

I'm just surprised "their language" isn't English. Since English is my first language despite being born and raised in India, I find it quite surprising that someone born and raised in Canada wouldn't speak English as their first language.

But - again - you don't KNOW that these people were  'born and raised in Canada', and you don't know that their first language isn't English.  Simply because they're speaking Chinese in public tells you nothing about their first language, their place of origin, or anything apart from the fact they are able to speak Chinese.

I was born and raised in Northern Ireland.  My first language is English (I didn't learn Irish until my mid teens), but I sometimes speak Irish in public to other Irish speakers.  I hardly think of myself as 'unassimilated'.
