The one thing I find that is often lost in this discussion in America is, why aren't we targeting the K-12 system where the majority of these discrepancies occur? We talk about tipping the scales at admission to universities, but never to what I believe is the actual root of the problem.
I'd argue almost no one is having their language and culture taken from them (that was certainly the case in other times in history, but I find it difficult to find one today). There's nothing stopping you from learning another language, or using another language 50-70% of the time.

This is a completely transactional phenomenon. You want to communicate with more people, and be understood in almost any part of the world, and possibly make more money doing just about any job? Speak English.

Also, I notice the web page to your project is written in English, I imagine it was done for mass appeal right? That's kind of the point.
