I thought that title said it all: Don't kick the minority. First, it takes a coward to do so, and second, you may find yourself in a minority one day yourself. English vs chinese is just an example, if you only care about numbers. Personally I love being in minorities. It is more fun, as long as they don't get extinct. Wouldn't it be boring if all people in the world spoke american english, dressed in jeans, ate hamburgers, drank Coke, programmed in C++ on Intel PC's with Windows, sang country&western, ...

Too many don't choose, they just follow the majority without thinking, and never care to learn more than one thing. All I ask more is that you also respect that others choose different. And perhaps recognize that the other choices actually have some advantages over your choice. And now LET'S STOP FUSSING ABOUT THIS!
