    I do believe a community requires some degree of homogeneity to at least start to mix together.

I agree, but what kind of homogeneity? Linguistic diversity is a good thing, but if a group is too linguistically diverse they are quite literally incapable of communication (Barring the super good translation software that is becoming available en-masse).

To steal yet another line from Heinlein, I don't enjoy snake dances, I despise crowds, and I do not let slobs tell me where to go on Sundays.
