From what I can get, some people in the US are afraid of the current changes in 'racial' make up of the US. From the creation of the US and till some recent days, the US was a nation of a WASP man. And yes, it was a melting pot.I never heard either one even talk about "mass immigration", go figure.
You're right about one thing, my grandfather lived in a time where racism was socially acceptable, and he was pretty racist by today's standards. My father less so, but he came of age in the era of segregation, and still carried some of that baggage.
In my family, my generation moved beyond that. I'm just not interested in passing judgment on people based on characteristics beyond their control.
My opinion of someone is based on how they treat other people. There are good people and there are bad people, but I'm not a mind reader who can look at someone and know what's in their heart. I need more information than the color of their skin, or they speak a different language than me.
Your post says nothing about me Jose, but it says a lot about you...
Now, the US is becoming more diverse. And a question arises whether it will be able to remain this melting pot, or 'balkanization' of some states may happen. And I should admit that these concerns are not so groundless.
