No need to worry about My culture My language My identity There is no threat to my ethnicity. My mother tongue is dominant, The cultural lingua franca on each continent. But at what cost, this monoglot monopoly? Maybe I unknowingly lack empathy? Do not understand that other languages need to breath. Other cultures need the space. Other identities need support. That they face existential threats. That my neighbours feel squeezed. But what can I do when I am surprised Each and every time when I am told That not everyone speaks the English at home?
