You think? Especially if you're an Arab Autopian and reading that thread
I've got some hysetrical Japanese jokes! But some people will accuse me of racial intolerance.
Although FalconGuy's joke was funny
Dividing yourself along ethnic lines to separate yourself from the greater American society, in the future, will lead to bad things. To be such an ethnically diverse country and still be so strong and mighty is a testament to how great the United States is and how powerful our message is - a message grounded in the freedoms provided by our Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Our Founding Fathers were right on the money
No wonder folks go through amazing and dangerous lengths to flee persection and economic insecurity to come to our country. Their success stories could fill a million football stadiums - my family included; fleeing the evils of Anti-Semitism, Communism and economic nothingness that permeated Russian society in the late 1910's.
I still maintain my ethnic identity - today I will be celebrating Passover; but I will never use it to separate myself or alienate myself from my fellow Americans. My identity is something I am very proud of. It's what makes me an American.
It's a wonderful thing to celebrate your ethnicity. I just don't like seeing it used to as a means to divide you from the rest of society.
