Is Cultural Diversity a Strength or a Weakness?

[Unkotare]

Now most Italian restaurants aren't owned by Italians,.

Proof?

 

[G.T.]

Of course, no Italian or Chinese individual would call your local Italian restaurant or Chinese restaurant actual Chinese/Italian food.

That would depend on where that individual lived, wouldn't it?

It also depends on the Italian Restaurant. There's tons of Authentic Italian serving restaurants here in the US.

But as far as the Chinese food? Yes, it's authentic most always. They make it right "off the boat" when they get here and open shop.

 

[Unkotare]

The culture of the Chinese in particular values education more so than that of Americans.

Too broad.

 

[Unkotare]

their home countries who's culture does not value individualism and capitalism. I

False.

On the other hand, the Chinese frown upon interracial marriage.

Asian immigrants and Asian-Americans (the would include Chinese, in case you needed help there) marry outside their 'race' more than any other ethnic group in America - by far.

The point was to not respond to his post because it was so full of inaudible bull dung that it was a worthless piece of shit, and a glaring tell that he's just here to be an argumentative prick.

Newcomers need to assimilate, and learn English. .

They do.

 

[Unkotare]

There needs to be one national identity. .

There never has been.

I know, just entering his ignorance into the public record.

Immigrants are adapting more quickly to our culture and English than ever before.

However, if one thinks that one out of six Americans who are foreign born are not going to influence the national character, then one both is being unrealistic and overrating the national culture.

What of the native born who are culturally conservative, that is to say, resistant to cultural advancement. Certainly when added to immigrants they have a heavy effect on the national character. There is more to cultural diversity than just foreign born. There are quite a number of native born cultures as well.

Immaterial, my friend. Jews, eastern Europeans, Asians, Africans, and South Americans have already influenced our culture, and that will only continue.

As the Catholic minority and the non-religious minorities continue to negate the white right evangelical influence, demographic cultural change will continue.

No one, Publius, wants to live in a cultural world the equivalent of the 1950s.

I don't believe the U.S. has an identity crisis. I don't see any conflict in this regard. Newcomers for the most part do indeed assimilate. The U.K. however does have a serious identity crisis, they erred in allowing cultural diversity in the past instead of a melting pot approach where newcomers assimilate into the mainstream culture.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The USA has no identity crisis at all, while the increasing minority of far right reactionary white social cons do.

 

[MaryL]

We are "appalled" that Anglos hijack the immigration issue to preserve their so called domination…. But then we don't mind the decay of this culture and the ascendance of Hispanic culture. Why the double standard?

 

[JakeStarkey]

No decay exists at all, only a deepening and a broadening.

Embrace it, Mary L.

 

[Katzndogz]

Multiculturalism and diversity has always been destructive.

 

[G.T.]

Humans have always been destructive. Point null and void.

 

[Tank]

Diversity = Less white people

 

[G.T.]

No. Just, no.

Embrace it, No, never. It is what we humans do, resist. Decay exists, we fight it. You think we should just mindlessly accept it? Nihilist might....You might.

While a thinking person might look for the actual source of actual decay - dumbasses apply it to a broad spectrum, illogical conclusion - "diversity."
