Oh, people shouldn't speak their native language because... speak English dammit! Nothing offensive about that, as long as it's expressed in a polite manner.

Oh, people shouldn't speak their native language because... speak English dammit! Nothing offensive about that, as long as it's expressed in a polite manner. To me it sounds like a constructive proposal from someone who has witnessed the problems first-hand, he's not just "ranting from the sidelines". This is not about imperialism. It's about improving the communications in a project that has long turned international. English is the lowest common denominator. Refusing to acknowledge that simple fact does not help anything.
