How many others think that multiculturalism has or will destroy America?
No country has ever withstood two competing cultures and languages vying for control because of the tension, conflict and antagonism created. And it is usually the outside cultures that breed this, because they want an ever widening feeling of control. And for those who say America never had it's own culture, it was self-sufficiency, a sense of community, and basic tenets of European farming and tradesmen culture. Notice how all that has left now that "celebrating our differences" has become the buzz topic?

I see the same tired old argument, that Europeans were not the original settlers. Well, whether we were or not, the "natives" were not born of the earth either. Bering land bridge, heard of it??? There was constant fighting for hunting grounds and territorial disputes between them, it's a natural human condition. But we came, we conquered, and to the victors go the spoils. Get over it.

it already is destroying us, we let way too many people over here.
Your lack of historical reference is sad, yet indicative of our current generation. The USA is a country where the majority population is descended from immigrants. Throughout the history of the Americas, not just the USA, Europeans have attempted to dominate many other races and creeds through subjugation or integration. Sure there have been flare ups of violence and discontent, as well as unfounded ideas of panic that "America is being destroyed," yet the USA is going to continue to progress...it is Fox News, knee jerk Nationalism that you profess that truly is the problem.
EVERY COUNTRY has had competition in cultures, languages, religion...if you do not know this, then you need to study history and sociology.
Second, the outside culture is not the creator of antagonism...the inside culture (white America in this case) has the most to lose. No dominant group ever wants to lose power.
Third, America's culture is based in European culture but also has incorporated aspects ranging through all the cultures that have been added to the American experience. To claim that we are centered on Europe is ignorant.
the those that got here in the previous in many circumstances had a tricky time mixing with the form of existence of u.s.. Many first technology human beings in no way did learn English or basically broken English to get with the help of. it frequently grew to become into the 2d technology (those born right here) that made the transition. working example, my abode church held centers in German into the Nineteen Fifties while the 1st technology immigrants died out. Now, there is not any longer everybody left in the church that speaks German it particularly is hard because of the fact the countless early archives are written in German. right now, this is the same. persons that have been born in different international locations are frequently those that have complication talking English, are maximum possibly to wave their abode flags, and function complication with American way of existence. the 2d technology are knowledgeable in the U. S., communicate English (a minimum of after the 1st couple years of faculty) and undertake greater of the yankee way of existence and varieties. the situation that has occurred is that such countless immigrants have are available in a reasonably short volume of time from Spanish talking international locations. This has led to many state governments and the federal government to undertake regulations of having written communique in distinctive languages rather of the persons being in charge to discover somebody to interpret for them. In some techniques, many immigrants sense entitled to maintain their own way of existence rather of adapt because of the fact of those regulations. Multiculturalism won't wreck u.s. yet a loss of immigrants adapting to community customs would.
Come to Toronto..it is very multicultural...what I heard it is the most muticultural in the world and nobody is moving or fighting. It is only in the states...and by the way Natives were the original settlers...not Europeans.
Well I like to add that you stated you came and conquered but now I guess your losing. We are winning...so get used to it.
I personally think we need to find a beautiful island, plant vegetable, and nice little trailers parked with the nicest views available, make all the restaurants movies and anything else all show just white images. Give all the inhabitants nice hooded cloaks and crosses a box of matches and start shipping the racists out of America. Then cut off all the ties to the island and let them all rot. Bigotville... RICEBOWL..CHEERS FROM ANOTHER CANADIAN..COME TO MONTREAL WE WELCOME ALL AS WELL AND WE ARE MULTICULTURAL AND PROUD OF IT
