You people cry assimilation to american culture. Am I not speaking english, hello!!! Look at my record, i have no criminal record not even a parking ticket. I work and pay taxes like everyone else. I'm not on welfare. I am a veteran, i served 4 years in the military, 2 and a half in Iraq. Yet if i fly the mexican flag on a cultural holiday because of respect for my roots, everyone throws a fit and says i have to assimilate to american culture. What exactly is it? Do they not want to see beyond it and know that I have pride in this country, but i also acknowledge my roots. Why would you hate when i do this? What is the American culture, is it not what i described myself to be? I celebrate 4th of july every year of my life. Explain to me why you would judge me then?
