Diversity and Multiculturalism II:Make Diversity Great Again

[Geneviev]

Yes. Perhaps now we are all American.

Currently ignoring the fact that I'm not American, and am only living here. Doesn't matter though, does it? As long as my name is Ugga-Bugga.

Why do some Americans really think they're above everyone else? They do realise that all of them are immigrants, right? Oh, wait, no they don't. Why not? Because America First! When they meet me for the first time, they ask if I'm British. I say no, and they immediately think I'm lying. Why? Because they don't seem to acknowledge the fact that there are more than two countries in the world. Not all Americans are like this, but apparently enough to make sure Islamophobia, racism, everything against diversity seem legitimate.

I agree. This American exeptionalism bs is messed up. That's probs why some people go on rants every time they hear a foreign language.
American exceptionalism is also the partial reason why many countries the US was involved in militarily are now in despair.

Yes, it goes too far.

The actor is British.

Or do you believe in assimilation?

Oh well, can never expect your arguments to stay consistent I guess.

I really like to hear why you think only English names should be allowed in America or the UK .

English names shouldn't be allowed in the UK according to Trumptonium's views of cultural purity. On top of that, he didn't say anything about the UK iirc.

I liked it better when the right made fun of snowflakes, instead of being snowflakes.

Its just crazy to me that people actually believe the stuff Trumptonium does. They are entitled to their opinion though. There have even been posts in here regarding people who are not white shouldn't be in public service jobs like police officers or firefighters or elected office etc. It was nice to see that nearly every poster in the thread rose up against them.

Cultural purity does seem to be their issue. I said UK because I wasn't sure what country they are from.

They do both now. They are snowflakes making fun of snowflakes.

Trumptonium is a Polish person born in Italy, immigrated to Britian with his fam.
Of all people, he's the one raging against immigrants and preserving culture.

If true that's actually funny as fuck.

Please tell me I'm dreaming.
I'm not? This is funny.

If thats true I'd love to know where their anti immigrant and xenophobia comes from. Most the of major cities in the UK are quite diverse and multicultural so I really dont know what his issue is.

[Kramanica]

Same. I'm proud of my Hebrew 1st name and Arabic middle and last names

French French and German, respectively.

I think mine is English. Not entirely sure, though.

This is like a 3 page thing and you're just now asking him?

[Kramanica]

True.

Because our country is usually better than most others.

And we aren't all immigrants. If you were born here you aren't an immigrant.

Irish, Irish (well my middle name is used like fucking everywhere so not sure where it originates from, think it comes from latin somewhere down the line historically) and Irish for me.


And a fourth Irish for my confirmation name, though im an atheist and no longer catholic and dont use it that much any more.

My surname is Jewish obviously since I am a Jew. It's not a common one though (like Goldstein or some shit) so I doubt most people would realize.

You can be a descendent of immigrants though

Let it go.

Which doesn't make you an immigrant yourself.

Does that mean 'anchor babies' aren't immigrants?

You're first generation, second generation, and so on. Go back as far as you need, you are descended from immigrants.

Also, no. America isn't close to being as good as most of the developed world with quite a few issues. Anti-vaxxers, homophobia, xenophobia, public education, healthcare... Need I go on?

Still has racism, huge wealth gaps, I think you would need to go on.

There's racism everywhere. The US is in no way different or worse.

I don't really want to go on. America is flawed, but a nice enough place nonetheless.

As someone who lives in the US, Imma focus on my country.
