America has been called a “melting pot” because separate cultures mix and become indistinguishably American. Not Chinese, or Indian, or Hispanic. American. That’s the logic behind a single language; we band together here as a country, not as a conglomeration of individual entities.

I understand the desire to maintain an individualist perspective; I am an individualist who loves the things that make me unique. However I also would argue that creating small bands of groups CREATES divisiveness, rather than alleviates it. Diversity is certainly something we want; but how can I gain from diversity if the Chinese all speak Chinese, the Hispanics Spanish, and the Indians Indian? I want to join your group and learn from you; if you speak in Spanish I cannot gain from diversity. I am automatically alienated.

What you’re promoting is a “mixed salad,” rather than a “melting pot.” And it’s not really what the Founders had in mind.
