I dont think that you have much to worry about. We're not losing the country or our culture (whatever that may be) we're changing. Change is inevitable & consistent w/our history. Remember the Italians or the Polish or the Irish or Chinese....? They were all considered to be 'damn foreigners' & frankly scared the crap out of the average American at the time. Scared of losing their heritage to those spaghetti eating, loud & dark Italians folks coming in by the boat load. How about the slanted eyes folk whose way of life was so different from the European based ways of the average American? Some might have worried about losing jobs to these immigrants but undoubtedly many were shit scared of these guys screwing their women. Well it took a few decades of racism, friction & violence before it all turned out quite ok. Now we have adopted many aspects of these cultures into our own. Who doesnt know what a pot sticker or Rissoto or Green beer is? Who hasnt heard an italian steretype or a Polish joke?


It seems that most of the immigrants that enter our country adopt the American lifestyle as well as keeping their patricular cultures intact. This my friend, is the foundation of the U.S.A. & the reason for our economic & technological dominance. Now while that sounded like such a truly positive & heart warming statement, the irony is that, Racism is as prevalent as ever.

Now go eat a delicious bowl of wholesome "Count Chocula"
