We are AMERICAN....when you come HERE you should be AMERICAN

 

 

 

 

 

Heck no. Then I'm stuck with nothing but American food. Our country is at its best when we embrace the cultures of others. Take away the different cultures we won't have much at all.

Diversity is our strength is the biggest load of #### ever. 

I disagree completely.  The reason that we have so much crime is people think others are different.  The biggest problem is the lefts push to punish whitey, and claim that our privilege is the reason that we have things so easy.  They make it out like white people get every job they apply for, every loan, we have the best medical care, and we're accepted into any college or university we apply to without any student debt, and we're all rich and debt free.  

Everyone struggles, and even the rich have struggled.  Many of the most wealth dropped out of school and even college.  They should be teaching that we're all in this together, and we can lift ourselves higher, but instead they are saying whites are to blame.  Only some of the children of the ultra rich have been born with a silver spoon in their mouths.  Some of the ultra rich don't even leave their children in their will, and they make their children work and strive hard for success.  For every Chelsea Clinton, Hunter Biden, and Walton kid there's an Anderson Cooper who wasn't left anything from his mother's estate.  I'm sure her name opened a few doors, but he still had to work to where he's at.  They need to get off this white privilege junk that is just poisoning the brains of our youth.

I agree to some extent.  I know I couldn't live without TexMex which I see as an inclusive fusion of food, Italian, or Vietnamese.  You can keep all the rest of the world's food especially British and French fare.

Confused. What's wrong with multiculturalism? Legitimately confused. 

A common culture is imo what holds societies together. Look at what is happening in the US today. We are more divided and polarized than we have been in my lifetime. There are many reasons for this...for some it is just political...for some it is just racial...for some it is just economic...but I believe the all encompassing issue is the growing divide between urban America and rural America. I am afraid that if things do not change we are heading for the complete Balkanization/fragmentation of the US (like a much bigger version of the former Yugoslavia). Maybe I am being too dramatic. Maybe the problems are not as deep as they seem to be. At least I hope that is the case. Im feeling kind of down this afternoon...so if you can give me a good reason why I am wrong I will be happy to listen lol.

I have no idea what makes French food so "special". The Brits are not really known for their cuisine.

Just hear me out. I get what you're saying about a common culture but just speaking from the black culture point of view, for decades we(they) tried to be a part of American culture but were turned away and had to come up with their own. Same with the Irish, they had culture tried to assimilate into the American Dream but were rejected, so they clinged back to their native culture. Here's the good news, this country has been in WAY worst shape than this and it didn't fall apart. For the most part people embrace other cultures and to be honest, I don't know what American culture truly is. You have the words and actions of a few who are seen as a majority but are actually the minority.

I hope you are correct and it is mostly just a lot of noise that will fade away. I admit that sometimes I can make a mountain out of a mole hill (as my Granny liked to say).

I think it's because some love the way they make really bad food sound great with their names for them.  I'm not eating any foie gras with truffles, steak tartare, cuisses de grenouilles, or tripe but it sounds like it would be delicious.  Heck they still eat horse meat over there.  I can remember when my older brothers would tell me that my Mommas roast was horse meat, because I wouldn't eat it and they would get to eat extra.  I don't even think the Brit's like their food, and why fish and chips is their most popular dish.

What you just described is part of what a lot of whites think white privilege is. The main belief is just whites have more opportunities opened up to them in things like the job market. Google Eileen Cure. That's a a great example. Whether you agree with that or not is another thing but just wanted to clear that up. 

Also, no matter what demographic you are the majority of crime is committed for money.

Unity is strength. United in freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all. Cultural differences do not matter, everyone wanting to be and love to be American is what matters.

You quoted the wrong person. I agree with him, but I didn't post that.

American culture is "being a melting pot"....today we have "leaders" that want to divide everyone by color, creed, gender, etc...etc....white Europeans founded this country...but slowly we started blending together with all people being given a fair chance ....it's not prefect...never will be perfect....but for some people it won't be anything until they tear apart what has been building for 200+ years....infancy compared to any other form of a country....but hey let's blow it up and try socialism/communism/marxism....yeah... that's the ticket....
