I JERK OFF TO ARCTOPUS
That, mindspell, is the attitude of cultural purity I'm decrying.
The Louisiana Cajuns have developed a wonderful culture, with its own distinctive styles of speech, dress, cooking, and attitude. That culture woud not exist if Nuremberg/Queecoise-like purity laws had been in effect to mandate that they stick to the "old ways" instead of creating their own new ways, naturally.
You're saying their old purely-French culture is different from and superior to the culture they practise now. That's the Nazi thing I'm talking about. Let them create their own culture--in a hundred or two hundred years, without cultural purity laws, this world's going to have a handful of new and amazing cultures we've never even yet conceived of. Or make purity laws and let cultures stagnate and revel in your purity.
