[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is your problem, being a European immigrant - " Don’t you care about your country? Already my area Silver Spring is becoming very Spanish and losing its American identity. "

Hispanics have been part of the US for centuries. As a matter of fact, TX used to belong to MX.

DH is also a white European immigrant, and I'm an Asian immigrant.  No, we don't support illegal immigration, but we don't expect the neighborhoods to be white, or Asian.  Hispanics have a longer history here than most white people's ancestors.

You saying your neighborhood is becoming "Spanish" shows me that you think American identity is white. That's your problem.[/quote]

Maryland was never part of Mexico. Spanish is a European language. And many Spanish speakers are "white".[/quote]
So?  The US is made of immigrants from all over.  So what if a neighborhood turns mostly Hispanic?   The English said the same thing when the Irish started coming here, and the Irish said the same thing when the Italians started coming here, etc..

Trump's mother was from a former sh(thole country called Scotland; Trump's grandfather came from Germany.     But, they were ok to come and turn a neighborhood Scottish or German because they're white.

WTF is "American culture" anyways.  It's a mismash of cultures, including Hispanic culture.[/quote]

They pretended to be all Swedish because around the time of WWI everyone hated the Germans. At least one was lynched and many underwent attempted lynchings.

I agree too,  this "American culture" is complete b.s. Maybe everyone should be living on turkey and hasty pudding? [/quote]
A lot of countries actually have a form of Thanksgiving, and they also celebrate it with food and family.   But, we don't do turkey. It's usually dry, and no one in our family really likes it.  We do other things: roast duck, gumbo (OMG DH made smoked roast duck gumbo one year, and it was sooo good), roast chicken, ham, etc.  We don't do "normal" thanksgiving dinner.

Are we unAmerican?   I don't care. Do you?[/quote]
