[quote=Anonymous]Why does it bother me that they're exclusive to other people? Do you realize how absurd that comment is coming from a group that complains it's been excluded for centuries? I don't care about bonding - you can bond with others about vegetarian foods, but when you start to exclude people on a regular basis for areas of life that are not related to whatever the bond revolves around, you are acting in an exclusive behavior. About 12% of Montgomery County residents are jewish and where I grew up it was 14% for the county. Certain areas in Montgomery County and the town I grew up in are significantly higher. In these areas, it's not a small population where there's only one other girl or boy in a class with the same cultural roots. Muslims make up a lesser percentage of the US. Should they just live clannishly as well? Should we exclude them in return? The US was also mean to many immigrant cultures, in particular Asian Americans and American Indians. Should they be exclusive to others too? If the US is a salad bowl instead of a melting pot, what is the benefit of having all these cultures together? Do we share and learn from other cultures or just keep our culture exclusive to ourselves and shun other people who are not like us?[/quote]
