Nope, we can't.
It's called evolution, and one of the base themes is competing for your genes. It is built in, and why we group together in bands with different flags.

On the other hand... Your interpretation of bestial humanity is not that wrong

There was this video of a white guy wearing a Mexican sombrero and one of those scarf like things.
He went around asking white people what they thought of his costume and the response was kind of like what you describe.
He then went to Mexico and people loved it
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
By that logic we also can't use most of our modern orchestra (a lot of those instruments originate from the Middle East), our numeric system (also Middle East), most of our mathematical foundations (Greek), etc. etc.
Oh, and I can't use the word (or abbreviation) "etc." anymore either 
Christianity is also from the Middle Eastern region, so that's an interesting one.
So don't let me see anyone celebrating Christmas this year, especially with a Christmas tree!

White voiceover actors are no longer allowed to voice black characters.
Remember last year, when The Simpsons recast the voicing of Dr. Hibbert?
I've been wondering since why everyone else on The Simpsons wasn't being recast with a bright yellow voiceover actor.

does it really mean you should?
GitHub - schellingb/TinySoundFont: SoundFont2 synthesizer library in a single C/C++ file[^]
Is there a reason for me to port this into SFX? It's MIT licensed like my stuff is, but the engineer in me is screaming at the creative part of me, and I'm afraid dishes are going to get smashed.
To satisfy the engineer in me I'm hoping I can come up with some use cases for running soundfonts on IoT
1. To play MIDI ringtones. (My library already does MIDI, but has no audible sound for it - rather exports midi data to external devices)
2. ???????
3. Profit!
Seriously though, is this even a good idea? I mean aside from enabling you to use MIDI files as part of your UI I can't think of a great reason to do this.
So why do I want to do it so badly? I think there's a consistency to being able to "link" the midi portions of my library to the audio portion of my library by way of soundfonts. That way you can route your MIDI stuff through the audio portions and have it produce something meaningful. Right now, they don't talk at all. They're completely distinct components and I almost made them two separate libraries.
I know there are some people who mess with MIDI here. I know some of you know what soundfonts are.
Can you think of good reasons to play them on IoT widgets? Particularly backed by a MIDI engine?

I have no idea what you're talking about but I'll respond as if I do anyway...
Several years ago I wrote an application (WinForms) which allowed users (supervisors in a call center) to view what was going on in a back-end system I wrote. At times, the system would run into a problem it couldn't handle and would need to alert the supervisors so they could deal with it. At first, I had a simple "ding" (Console.Beep), but I decided that that "wasn't good enough" in a noisy call center. So I wrote classes which would allow the user to write an XML file containing a sequence of notes for the application to play as an alert tune. I then had my copy play a pleasant "ding dong" -- which is twice as good as a simple "ding".
But I didn't stop there! Most of what I had written was all Windows services and one of those services is a scheduler, so I wrote Westminster Chimes files for it to play on the server's internal speaker on the quarter-hour.
Can you do that with your doohickey?

If I implemented this it would be easy to do. I'm currently prototyping on a PC using a 3/4MB midi soundfont and a few MIDI files.

downloaded, compiled and ran shellingb's tiny font. Is this what you are trying to improve on? If so, there's room.

I'm not trying to improve on it. I was considering porting it to run on IoT, but I probably won't now, after reflecting on it for a day, and also examining how the code works, in the context of the bottlenecks I'd face on IoT.

So, your intention is to not create sound but to create a unique sound producing device i.e. Iot smart speaker? I am confused.

No, just providing tools for others to create sound.

Mrs. Codewitch,
Top-level talent like yours shouldn't be spent playing tinny music on tiny speakers. You should be be curing cancer or something. Seriously, go on Kaggle and find a way to spot tumors in X-ray images.

Sorry - I was going to post that, but Herself slipped in the shower.
No damage - other than a bruised thumb - but I had to fix the shower door back on ...
Good clue!
