[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diversity can be a good thing. 
What I get frustrated with is the expectation that we, as Americans, must honor the cultures of other countries when the immigrants come here, but there is little expectation that they honor the cultures and expectations of OUR country. 
If you are going to go to another country to live (or even to visit), it would be prudent to learn the culture, the laws, and the expectations of that country and learn to accept them.  You can still honor your heritage, but don’t expect the citizens of the other country to follow your customs.  [/quote]

It is give and take, We as Americans must welcome and honor other culture as should the new immigrants. Now there are individual cases of fresh immigrants not understanding American culture and thinking theirs is better. Just as there are bigots here who want to impose American culture on whoever comes here NOT knowing that every culture has its faults, including American culture. So dont be peevish and find fault. Anyone can find fault with anyone because culture is neither a monopoly nor is it absolute. So be humble and learn from others, ignore the arrogant ignoramuses. [/quote]
