What is American culture BTW? I am still trying to figure that out.
I do think we have our own culture. It's shaped by our Christian beliefs and yes by Protestant-Anglo-Saxon work ethic. Pat's ancestors were CAtholic but they managed to fit in with this work ethic. His main point in this article makes sense but it gets clouded when he tries to make it out to be a color issue. If he had said America no longer united, English-speaking, Western culture, he'd be on the ball. It's not only WHAT you say but how you say it that counts

What and how, that is true, but using the word white, and describing the failure of Mexican Immigrants to assimilate, due to their large influx, is not a critcism of their race. It is a critic of the immigration model we are using, namely everybody come...now. It is like inviting more people to dinner than you have seats at the table for.

It just occurred to me, PB probobly didn't write the headline. Editors usually do that. Wouldn't matter if he did, though.
