Fun fact: Some places in Europe "bilingual" is used as an euphemism for students with middle eastern backgrounds. When used like this it carries lots of negative connotations and authorities try to limit the concentration of "bilingual" students at schools as they're seen as the source of all kinds of trouble.

Does anyone have that meme about how you drive four hours through Europe and discover twelve kinds of racism you didn't even suspect existed?

You can drive through twelve villages neighbouring villages and discover twelve kinds of xenophobia. They'll still gang up on you if you try to join in, though.
