“Multiculturalism never prevented the USSR's imperialistic ambitions, neither does it prevent Russia's imperialistic ambitions now. It did not prevent the Holodomor, it did not prevent the USSR from ethnic cleansing (like the Crimean Tatars). Who was in charge of the USSR when the two previous examples took place? Josepth Stalin aka Ioseb Jughashvili, an ethnic Georgian ruling from a mostly ethnically Russian city.” This is not a problem of multiculturalism, it is a problem of politic, beliefs and dictatorship. The “holodomor” was not against an ethnic group as it killed as well Russians, as the Tatars were deported for political reason, as the Germans and others minorities who did collaborate with the German Armies (i.e. Cossack of Crimea). As the famine in Ireland and in India under UK regime, the famines in USSR happened because/for economic principles push to the extreme and the refusal by leaders to recognise mistake.

“I beg to differ. The majority of the French language is derived from a single linguistic set. The English language has several distinct sets of rules and customs, including famously farmyard animals whose name changes depending whether you're looking after the animal or eating it.” Err, no. French derived from German, Latin and others languages, but mostly by the fusion of the language of Oc(citant) an Oi (North). I can tell you that the same word have different meaning in Calais or in Marseilles, and even don’t want to speak of Canadian French, or variety in African Countries French. And if you want homonymy: sceau, sot, saut, seau (all pronounced as so ). As for description, a piece of meat change name depending if it comes for a wild animal or farm animals: Gigot (lamb) and cuisseau (dear) (even if the last tends to vanish) or/and size of the animal.
