How do you disagree? Is it in the - trivial - way that "blood and race" are 
nazi concepts, whereas linguistic purism is merely a form of bigotry (though in 
fact it is from the same family tree as the less acceptable forms, viz. 
Herder)? Or do you think that language groups form 'natural communities'? 

All the stuff on language was from the SIL website.
