I'm not sure if the name changing by immigrants in the past shows a darker side of our society; intolerance. Or immigrants adopting there new home and becoming a a full member of it . I guess it's both.

The same thing could be said for making a language harder than really necessary, making it a tool for distinguishing between classes in society. A good example is ebonics, a simplification of a language ridiculed by the upper/ruling class.
