"But there are others, whose lifestyles are quite different, who do 
normally speak Hindi, or Gujarati, or Ghanaian, a Chinese dialect, 
etc.,  etc., many of whom dress according to their own customs, 
celebrate according to their own customs, live lifestyles reflecting 
those of their ancestral homeland and who still have strong links 
with family overseas. It was of these whom I was thinking."

I suppose that to any Muggle family living in Britain, magic is going to be *another culture* anyway. I mean, magic is a completely different culture to even your stereotypical WASP Muggle one... yeh, I know the spells and so on... but how many people know Latin in Britain today anyway? So I suppose that even if you were say a British Chinese family with strong links to your ancestral background, etc, Chinese magic would probably be just as foreign to you as Hogwarts-style magic.

I'm not explaining this very well, am I?
