Should we be celebrating linguistic difference?

Jay Doubleyou: we are by nature multilingual

Should we be giving immigrants classes in their own native languages?

Genetically we are the same:

“Everybody is the same; everybody is different,” said Mary-Claire King, an expert in human genetics at the University of Washington in Seattle. “That is the paradox.”

People Are Same, but Different - Los Angeles Times

Is it true that we are all the same? Or are we all different? People seem to argue on this topic endlessly.

We call these people the Denisovans. They’re a human species but are not us, not Neanderthals, and not one that was previously known. We saw that we interbred with the Denisovans, and they interbred with us. The further east you go today, the more Denisovan DNA you see in living people and the less Neanderthal.

Why Race Is Not a Thing, According to Genetics

Groups of chimpanzees within central Africa are more different genetically than humans living on different continents, an Oxford University-led study has found.

Culturally we're diffrent:

You’ve heard about multicultural societies and groups, but have you thought about multicultural individuals and what they bring to organizations? Multicultural individuals — such as Chinese-Canadians, Turkish-Germans, or Arab-Americans — commonly think, perceive, behave, and respond to global workplace issues in more complex ways than monocultural individuals.
Some multicultural individuals translate these differences into career success. For example, a study of 100 Israeli managers working in Silicon Valley found that Israeli-American managers thought in more complex ways than managers who saw themselves as belonging to only Israeli or only American cultures. As a result, peers rated them as more competent managers and they were promoted faster.
Many people are confused about whether they are multicultural. Does having immigrant parents or grandparents, working internationally, or living in a multicultural city mean that you are multicultural?
