Multiculturism, is it really that great?

[Saiwania]

Look up those cities on the map, set the map to the racial/ethnic groups map and look at the color coded ethnic enclaves, I live in a miles long group of continuous barrios that go from South Glendale to North Irvine, LA is segregated.

I live in a suburb that is 90% White, I'm disturbed by the fact though, that the White share of the population immediately drops to 75% or lower in the areas surrounding the suburb I am in. It is clear to me that I will need to move but chances are, wherever I move to will have the same problem I am trying to flee from.

[Libertarian California]

Cool.

This is my neighbor:

Mexican first, citizen of Aztlan second, Californian third, American last.


I speak better Spanish and know more about Mexican culture than he does.

Honestly, I can't stand the Mecha, aztlan folks. Frikkin racist and ignorant. I balance out the American and Hispanic side, just a little more on the US side.

They just can't get over a war they lost, and that had a large role in starting.

They seem to believe it was "Evil America rapes the innocent little Mexico".

1. English
2. A legal system based upon Civil law (the Anglosphere and a few African nations are the only countries that use civil law, as opposed to common law)
3. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution were pretty much created entirely by British Americans
4. The Special Relationship
5. Traditional ruling elite, the WASP (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant)
6. We used to be a British colony


Need I go on?

Constitution had a lot of influence from Haudenosaunee, but yeah, most of those.

So the Anglosaxons are only English people?

I know plenty, a lot are cool, some are not, I like the ones that get more into being indigenous, even associate themselves with Indians from north of the border, but there are all types, they tend to get a bad image as a whole because of the loud obnoxious Mexica Movement.

I can respect the Indian identity in it, but reclaiming the Southwest for Mexico is just beyond stupid.

Culturally though there is a lot of German and French influence. I mean I guess we are closest to the UK because we speak English, but only at first glance, and we don't actually have an official language (although I'm in favor of making English our official)

Anglo (or Anglo-Saxon) is often regarded these days as a synonym for British people (or at the very least English people). It has little to do with the Anglo-Saxon tribes.

A disgrace.

The Netherlands used to be the best and one of richest nation in the world,
The Arabs and Niggas don't adapt to our Country. Marrocans are five times more criminal than natives.
I applied for a job at a local supermarket i was not accepted East Europeans and other Immigrants Took my job and
You should see this video.

Niggas? Like it's in a foreigner's blood to destroy everything. I'm Hispanic and the son of a border hopper and visa carrier (both gained citizenship and work like hell). I don't gangbang and tag freeway overpasses. Stereotypes don't apply to everyone

Hispanic!!!

I am also hispanic, I don't think these stereotypes are fair when imposed on me (also I am Salvadorean, which you must know Pacifornia, about the gangs from El Salvador, but yet I am not like them at all).

As for the OP: umm... really?! Multiculturalism is a good thing if only because it exposes you to a different view of the world you live in. It is awesome the ways being from outside the US has influenced my perspective.

75% is still quite high.

Almost every state has English listed as its official language. Those German and French immigrants pretty much became part of the Anglo culture through intermarriage and cultural assimilation. In fact, a large part of the WASP elite was made up of people of German or Dutch descent.

Nope.

I am fine with it being Lingua Franca, thank you.

Apparently the Iroquois Confederacy served as a model of sorts for American federalism, but the Iroquois themselves really didn't create the institution of American federalism.

It's the official language of 28 states.

Yeah that's why I think it's more west euro than specifically Anglo. I'm not sure about the assimilation, I think they more or less both assimilated with each other.

Even the stupid ones I know don't believe in that, don't think I met anyone that did. I know people that use Aztlan as a metaphor.

It should be in all 50. I like states rights and all but I think there is a point at which it would be better off under federal law.

Just a correction. I believe that you switched common law and civil law.

Our cultural institutions are rooted in Great Britain or the English colonists.

The ethnicity of the people who later came to utilize these institutions is irrelevant, as they barely made any changes to them, and kept them largely as they were.

They did assimilate. The fact that the vast majority of Americans of German descent speak entirely English and not a lick of German kinda proves they assimilated.

In the Netherlands you have to learn at least on foreign language, and we spend 4,000,000,000 every year for forrign aid.

Well, linguistically anyway.

The majority of White Americans are of german descent but you don't really see them doing German shit.
