i would never live in a country where i wasn't prepared to learn the language. thats why i wouldnt live in south korea or japan.
thats me thats my opinion.
i am not talking about indigenous populations that is another thread.
i am talking about cultural identity and the right to preserve it.
in italy some areas have banned chinese lanterns, the building of mosques etc because they dont want the integrity of their towns changed.
are they right to do this?

to what extent should we adapt and what extent should we preserve?
