    Seriously. What race is American? I’m calling for immigrants to assimilate into American culture. Not to become some different race because I think whatever race is the better one. I think American culture is the better one than theirs because they’re running away from theirs.

      You think its a mindset. So some japanese teen who, what? Thinks real hard about cowboys and burgers is american? Fucking coke head, what are you talking about?

      And which american culture? Our states each have 10 different versions of macro cultures. Our cities dont even have unified cultures, they never have. Do you even live here? We subsivide between east coast, northwest coast, southwest coast, midwest, bible belt, great plains, and on and on and on and so on.

      We brag so hard about how multifaceted our patchwork culture is its almost a cliche. Do you go outside? Have you even spoken to americans?

      For fucks sake, dude, dont talk about a nation youve clearly never lived in.

        And yet an American is an American. We’re not all that different, but then you go into some enclave of immigrants who came here only to earn more money or possibly escape crimes they’ve committed. They want nothing to do with contributing to the US. They take for sure, but they are at their core, in their heart, not American. They’re Guatemalan, or Venezuelan, or Mexican. That is the core issue. I was just remembering about how Kamala Harris. The Vice President told people not to come. This is NOT a minority opinion. This isn’t just me.
