[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who come to the US wanting 100% acceptance yet they do not reciprocate and want an exception to be bigoted. I saw this first hand with the Muslim refugees that we took in from Syria and Afghanistan in the resettlement programs.

In the US, your adult children are free to marry anyone. If you don’t like it, you can go back to your country. [/quote]

The vast majority of people in the US are immigrants. Everyone brought their own belief systems when they came. People who are native to the US make up quite a small minority. [/quote]

How long do you think you have to be here?  The Native people weren’t Americans because there was no such thing. My father’s side has been here since the 1850’s.  My mother’s side a couple of decades later.   There’s no culture except American in our family.  [/quote]

Wait- is this a serious post?  I certainly wouldn’t want my kid to marry someone who thinks this way let alone admits to thinking this way. This would be a major parenting fail.

Posts like this make (some) white people just look bad and sound so naive. [/quote]

You missed the point.   Someone was claiming we are all immigrants. So when do you get to call yourself American?   All I know is America, how am I not American?

Think what way exactly?   Instead of pulling up a tired comment like “parenting fail” put some thought into and intelligently explain  what the problem is.  Also undocumented people who’ve been living and working in America for years are American.  [/quote]
