Quote:For people who are recent (1 – 3 generations) arrivals to America and want to hold on to some link, some pride, etc. in their home land I see no problem with people displaying flags or other symbols of other places. In my estimation, it is truly an American thing to do since we’re a nation of immigrants, always has and always will.



 

I also have no problem with all the languages being spoken here as long as English remains the dominate one, which it always will. What can I say, I embrace diversity.



 

It’s interesting to me that those of us whose people have been here for generations want to tell the Americans who haven’t been here as long the speed to which they should assimilate. I wonder when theses’ people’s ancestors got here if they held on to some aspects of their home land as they assimilated over the generations.  I would imagine they did!
