Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

The American Indian didn't think of owning land in the same way that the Europeans did, but you are right they did lose a lot. We should all be grateful for what we have and the great country we live in.

maximum human beings at the instant are not racist, yet we can look after our u . s . while needed. occasion: unlawful Mexican extraterrestrial beings. i be attentive to a pair people who're racist in the direction of Mexicans, yet maximum human beings do exactly in comparison to gazing human beings sneak in the time of an imaginary line, thieve jobs they do no longer deserve, stress up coverage, retail and different such expenses, fill our u . s . with drugs and then beg for citizenship. can we hate all Mexicans? No, of course no longer. that is dumb. i do no longer hate any of them. I hate what a number of them are doing, yet i be attentive to they're basically attempting to locate a greater effective existence. the completed racism in the direction of Africans remains out of hand, too. Now with the guidelines requiring equivalent opportunities, persons are being became down just to maintain the races equivalent...it is not common, yet what can we do approximately it? i don't be attentive to each individual who's racist in the direction of chinese language. They communicate English in a humorous way, yet they're all fairly effective. chinese language nutrition has advance right into a staple interior the yankee way of existence. As for Muslims, I blame that on the media and usa's loss of expertise. i could no longer tell what team a individual from the middle east is from with the help of finding at him. With each and every of the coverage Iraq and Iran are recieving precise now, it is not any ask your self human beings are slightly apprehensive. we don't understand Jihad, we've on no account been that pushed. We have self belief killing human beings is misguided, no count number what your ideals are. by assuming all human beings are racist, you're making the comparable stereotypes and assumptions those human beings are. i'm particular we've unlawful extraterrestrial beings coming from many different international places, and that they could all be taken care of the comparable: as criminals.

Yes we are. You have 2 good points their. Genetically the Native Americans are Asian. So I ges we are all on Asian land. The land belong to the conqueror.The British conquered The land of the Anglos Saxon's. And we invaded and conquered America. And then we rewrote history.

yeah, we don't like people that come here illegally. The Pilgrims signed all the necessary forms. ;) And the Mexicans are free to find their own primative continent to inhabit. I heard South America's still up for grabs!

i think the fighting is about the ones who are not americans but come here illegally to work and send home money, taking jobs from low income americans who deserve them

There is no such thing as a hyphenated American. You are either an Aerican or you are not an American. There is no in between.
