The creation of the english language is fairly complicated, keep in mind. Old english isn't the same as modern english

Old English was spoken till the 11th century and middle english, the English used in the middle ages emerged after William conquered England, modern English's origins is in the 16th century or the year 1450

The Normans strolled up at some point and were like "Nah, we're better"

Fun fact, William 1's body burst at his funeral I believe

The concept of Enemies to Lovers makes almost no sense and it rustles my jimmies everytime I see fanart of it.

Early Modern English which was what Shakespeare used in his works takes lots of influence from ancient greek and Latin, and the great vowel shift helped this change

Upper class spoke French, in its time was considered the “universal” language, like Latin at one point, and English today.

I’m not sure what you’re fishing for, other than trying to set up for a ban. I think the ideas being promoted are asinine at best, and total ignore the species history, but I’m not going to punish people for keeping their stupid beliefs to themselves.

Satiating genuine curiosity. I'm not impressed, not a well executed argument.

Too vague. Asked for evidence supporting their belief, was provided more assumptions and claims without sources.

I think what he's saying is that if you allow different culture groups to stay separate and not integrate and assimilate, you'll basically have a de-facto segregation like South Africa, Rhodesia, Chicago or Milwaukee. Look at Somalis in Sweden. That went horribly. The Somali immigrants refused to integrate and assimilated and they brought their tribal rights with them and so they restarted gang fights in Stockholm with Grenades

The claim is for assimilation as opposed to diversity, but I live and among mainly with people who do not share my culture and those claims are not the reality I witness. Some of those around me don't even speak my language at all. I can tell they don't really have an interest and that's not really something I hold against them, it's difficult learning a new language, so we do our best to make do with alternatives. It's not something that causes animosity, but curiosity and creativity when working together.

I'm not convinced in the slightest, but you have provided something a bit more concrete to look to so I'll look into that. If you have sources to provide that would make it much easier on me, thanks.
