During the entire history of the United States, immigrants have been entering the country. Those immigrants assimilated successfully because racial and cultural diversity was not popular. Now, the majority of immigrants do not assimilate because it is politically correct to encourage ethnic and cultural diversity. Since it is encouraged to retain your cultual background, we see people with multinational pride, and conflicting intrests and contempt for the United States. Over generations, do you think that cultural pride will finally take a back seat to national pride, and that assimilation will naturally follow, and we will coexist harmoniously? Or do you think that cultural pride will overcome national pride and bite us all in the end, and our own unwillingness to cooperate will divide us as a whole? OR, do you think cultural pride and national pride can coexist without conflict, we learn to tolerate, learn from each other, and stop squabbling over the errs of long past?
