Disclaimer: Every leftist terminology I use in this post is used in jest.
Under the current status quo, when foreigners immigrate to Western countries, they are generally expected to learn English. Obviously this doesn't always happen but it's still a weak expectation. But what would be the end goal of leftist progressive utopianism ideology if we accelerate it?
One end goal is actually pretty based and that is to ban/abolish non-English languages. Of course, leftists consider English a colonizer language, a White language. But at the same time, leftists oppose borders. If Donald Trump's Wall is a physical border, then language is a natural verbal border. If leftists forced everyone to communicate in the same language (English), then they could achieve inclusivity at the cost of diversity (of languages). The problem with this goal is that it expects BIPOC people (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) to take responsibility for their own lives and to actually put effort into something instead of expecting White people to do it for them.
Another end goal is to force the White race to learn every language in the world. Obviously this is impossible, but for the sake of discussion, let's assume that because of a massive improvement in language-learning technology tools, the evolution of the White human brain, a massive increase in White IQ, and Deus Ex-style bio-tech cyber-enhancements (eg. human brains can now store memory cards), White people of the future can learn a new language a year. Let's also assume that the IQs of Black and Brown people continue to drop and because of their genes, they are not compatible with biocybertech.
Let's assume all of the above is possible in the future. Leftists obviously elevate BIPOCs while putting the boot down on the neck of White people (Whites are evil and responsible for all the ills of the world). Then why wouldn't this leftist utopia expect White people, from their place of privilege, to learn all of the languages of the world? Black and Brown people are historically oppressed so leftists do not expect them to be anything except passive victims of the Straight White Male.
Or will the language issue just remain the status quo? eg. There is a weak expectation that immigrants/foreigners learn English but it is racist to actually say that.
