We have latinos, blacks, gays, poor, rich, whites and transgender. The thing. The main thing, that made America exceptional was our NON diversity. I was brought up in an italian area of New York state. The immigrant parents pushed their children to embrace american values and to speak English. Embracing one culture and language allows us greater strength by combining our strengths to diminish our weaknesses. If we all work together, we are unbeatable. I have lived in Montréal, Canada. The English told me their French jokes and the French told me their English jokes. Bilingualism is devisive. You can't be united if you can't communicate. In a bar in Ottawa, Canada's capitol, I was speaking French with some Canadian friends. Someone at the bar berated us for not speaking English. French is an official language in Canada. I lived several years in French West Africa. The people there spoke a dozen different languages, even though the official language was French. It was so bad that everyone spoke some Jula, the language of trade used in markets. Everyone knew a little Jula were be able to buy/trade goods.
One language, one culture.

I agree with most of what you say especially embracing our commonalities, the left also speaks of embracing our cultural differences, but not to divide the country but to sew it together. Embracing the finer qualities of other cultures is enriching. With that said I emphatically agree on keeping one common language to communicate, this is the thread that ties us all. Unless we should all go to a universal language and take up sign or Jula. LOL
