What? Our pure and sacred language of English was defiled by words from another language brought to this country by immigrants from foreign lands? Say it ain't so! English changed by the influence of a foreign language? How can this be? This is horrible! Our culture and our very language has been corrupted by foreigners. But we're all still here. We're still speaking English. We haven't been converted into a land of Gaelic speaking poor. How can this be?
Oh, of course, I nearly forgot. The language adapted, and so did the people. Just like always. Whew! Thank goodness. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep up that sort of biting sarcasm.
(Wait, was I just sarcastic about my own sarcasm?)
