While I am of the mind that proper assimilation also includes some absorbing of the new culture by the new country I posed a question in a thread that I would like to see the feeling on of the folks in here.
Would you like to see just an all white / Christian culture in America? Seriously. An American where foreigners are kept out because of their culture and / or race.
Serious answers please.
Hell no. E albus pluribus unum - from many whites one - is that the motto of the United States? No! And the motto isn't
no Jews, no Buddhists, etc... The motto is E pluribus unum - From many, one - and so we should, as we always have for the most part (tragic shortcomings of various ancestors not withstanding) welcome and incorporate all into the American experience/experiment.

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
