[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] The problem with guys like this is that they look to some idealized version of America's past (a 1950's Tv show version probably) and overlook the cultures that united to make America the strong country it's been for so long. Is his version of America somehow devoid of the Irish and Italian immigrants that flooded into our country just prior to WWII? A lot of bozos thought those immigrants were somehow making America "less pure" by their diversifying our culture. Most of the pre-WWII immigrants were working menial jobs in the owrst conditions our country had to offer and yes, they also had a high drop out rate, language dfficulties and were considered to be generally "uneducated" by those in power at the time. Being from Miam, I'm of a split opinion on some of this: Miami has become a latin version of "Chinatown" where if you are not hispanic, you dont belong- and they'll let you know it. Many times I had prospective employers say- "you really need to learn to speak spanish if you want to work in Miami at all". That kind of burns my ass, but I cant discount that most latins are just as hard-working as anyone born in this country. What the fuck does someone from Colorado know about multicultrualism anyway? I'd like to see the demographics on his WASPy state....I cant imagine he has [i]any[/i] experience with integrating cultures into America's whole. [/QB][/QUOTE]
