Politicians, sometimes, give them so little credit! If more people were bilingual, or multilingual, the world would be a better place. It is worth remembering that asking and helping someone from another culture to integrate are duties. To demand that they forget who they are and where they come from, or worse, that they abhor the culture of their parents, is a senseless cruelty that impoverishes everyone.
El mundo sería mejor si más personas fuéramos bilingües o multilingües. Pedir a alguien de otra cultura que se integre, y ayudarle a hacerlo, es un deber. Exigirles que se olviden de quiénes son y de dónde vienen, o peor aún, que aborrezcan la cultura de sus padres, es un sinsentido cruel que nos empobrece a todos.
