Assimilation is a two way street. Each culture assimilates parts of the other. However, religion be in Islam, Christianity or Judaism is not assimilated. Christians remain Christians and Muslims remain Muslims.So every person who immigrates to the US in suppose to fall in love with a Ford pickup, drink piss water for beer, be devoted to NASCAR and listen to a watered down version of country music?they DO NOT want to become ONE with us!
WTH are you talking about? The things you mentioned are usually things attributed to only the south in our country. And what's wrong with pickup trucks and NASCAR anyway? Assimilation means embracing our values and our language not regional cultural practices. Apparently you have a hate-filled attitude towards any part of the U.S.
No it isn't!
We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.
You seem to be afraid of what America has always been. Sucks for you.
