I have to hand it to the liberals. Despite our best attempts to create a melting pot and a uniquely ‘American’ identity, their attempts at multiculturalism have reduced us to a collection of tribes each functioning within our own spheres, each fostering a different culture with different values. We have only to wait for the white tribe to be outnumbered, and our common bond of English to fail before the final collapse.
Final collapse? CA and NJ are getting pretty close because they are broke.
Yeah...maybe. Or maybe the company just wants to make money by selling dolls that customers want.
I was just at the Scottish Highland games this past Sunday. Do you think it’s wrong that people of Scottish heritage dress up kilts and play in pipe and drum bands? I think it’s awesome, and I’m not Scottish.
These dolls are HISTORY based, and as such, would represent little girls at times throughout the history of the United States. I don't have a problem with it, because it only points up the strength of America, that we have been able to assimilate so many cultures over the years.
We ALL have an ethnic heritage, but some families have been here longer than others, and folks intermarried, so some folks don't have an affinity for any particular ethnic group anymore. There are some for whom Russian Jewry is their heritage, even though they have been Americanized for years, and they would love for their little girls to have this connection to the family's past.
They are cute dolls, but our daughter was never into dolls, so we never bought any of them for her.
Actually, the “melting pot” was a liberal concept, as the old elite wanted the ethnics to be either deported or kept in their “own” neighborhoods back in the day.
