You people are the ones who make things up.Where do you get your information? I live in a completely mixed neighborhood. There is nothing going on like what you describe.
You just contradicted yourself. Are you even bright enough to realize that?? I doubt it.
How can you say you live in a completely 'mixed' neighborhood while at the same time claiming assimilation??
You can't. It is idiotic to even think like you do.
If your 'neighborhood' were assimilated, you wouldn't very well call it 'mixed' now, would you?
You people aren't just ignorant, you really aren't very bright at all.
As an example, my next door neighbor, that I've known for 20 years; I just found out his last name is Padilla.
I not only had no idea he was Hispanic, I didn't care. He was/is as American as I am. A Navy Veteran (nobody's perfect), has cook outs at his pool, stops by to shoot the breeze with me once in a while, his kids go to the same school my kids went to...... etc, etc
The problem is. You really don't have any idea what assimilation is. You really don't.
It is when there ARE NO DIFFERENCES.
You want it both ways. You want identity politics replete with the victimhood it offers while at the same time demanding that everybody recognize those who refuse to assimilate as the same as us.
They are not.
Maybe in the shithole you live in, but not in the real America.
And yeah, I'm being an asshole. Because this question is extremely important and because too many people just don't get it.
Did you know that, back around 1920 (?) the US stopped immigration completely so the flood immigrants we took in could assimilate? Of course you didn't know that. Didn't start back up again until after WWII
You people getting your talking points from the DISGUSTING FILTH in the media are woefully misinformed.
The media are the most ignorant, the most stupid ***** to ever exist. And you people echoing them daily keep proving it.
