Hey Yas & Ali, are kids in Canada, who speak Arabic at home, allowed to speak Arabic in school? @ConfessionsExMu @aliamjadrizvi

Yes. That happens. It’s unfortunate to see the pods by identity, I agree. It also stunts their learning because it limits how often they speak the common language of the country-but really, there’s no way to control that. I wouldn’t advocate for restricting ppls language choices.
I’d like to say that over time mixing naturally happens, but that just not true. When I was young and there was one Korean girl and one Pakistani guy, sure...everyone played together, but not anymore-now everyone has an ethnic pod /1

And if you choose to hang out w a different pod because you have a common interest (not identity) then you’re ostracized for ‘trying to be white’. Asian kids who don’t stick to their pods are called bananas for ex (yellow on the outside/white on the inside) /2
