[quote=Anonymous]What is so troubling to me about immigration is the history of colonialism that we like to ignore. With then end of WW2 Asian previously European colonies that had been occupied by Japan had this crazy nothing that a war for freedom across the globe included them. WW1 and WW2 both led to the west deciding the fate of the Middle East. I'm less educated on Africa. Zimbabwe was still Rhodesia when I took geography in 1967-68. I remember seeing newspaper articles about Belgian nuns murdered in Congo (which would have been 1964, I was in 4th grade spring of 1964). US I think has much more to account for in S America. Not saying that all this history provides a remedy (and who can say what the alternate history would have been?) Assimilation is not a cure-all. If it were Jim Crow and the Tulsa Massacre (and others) would never have happened (in fact, the more black lives looked like white lives, the angrier Southern whites got). Assimilation also takes a long time. It took 32 years for the Lutheran church my great grandparents joined to start having services in English instead of Norwegian. [/quote]
