Race wise there's no denying that minority races are breeding out whites. End of story. It is just a fact of life that the white race is going to be breed out entirely soon. Whether you want to say that is a good or bad thing, is totally up to you.
Goodness, that was quite a lot of points you made in a short post.
I'm not going to argue racism with you or anyone else here.
But if you are wondering why people learn English as a foreign language it's

1) higher education, serious career - required skills, take it or leave it.
2) talk to people from other countries whose language you don't speak.
3) USA imperialism after WW2. Has nothing to do with the UK. The foreign languages that worked in Europe before the war, were German and French. First foreign languages for my grandparents. They speak one those but not English.
4) Cultural imperialism; films, music and the rest, in English - inspires young people to learn English.

Don't want to diss English, it's really helped me. But there are backsides to the coin and I think it's time we in Europe started thinking about it. It's such a darn waste of time as well - it's almost impossible to speak and write perfect English due to the chaotic structure of the English language.
