Yes, I'd hate to see that happen too. When my daughter was an exchange student in Belgium some years ago, I got my first taste of how ugly this fight between two language groups could be, with the once oppressed flamands "getting their own back" as it were, against the francophones..... I'd always thought linguistic diversity was FUN too.   What a pity when we get carried away with historic hatreds. (And even worse when we distort history -- for a wonderful corrective to the kneejerk "victim view," I highly recomment a book by Arthur Herman, I think, called "How the Scots invented the modern world"; he sets the record straight.).
