Along these same lines, should you hire that wonderful Hispanic or Chinese or Korean nanny you just interviewed? Will it hurt your baby to have him exposed to another language from such an early age? To the contrary, it will enhance the baby’s language and cognitive development to have access to another language.
Oof this sentence is assuming the reader is neither of those ethnicities and doesn't work as a nanny or housekeeper. This is also implying that people of those ethnicities who are working class know their ancestral language. If I were hiring someone to watch my kids, I'm not going to assign them a teaching role without their consent. Bilingual people don't exist to benefit other people's kids. And because of linguistic discrimination I am assuming that many bilingual nannies won't speak lamguages other than English around their charges even if their other language is stronger.
