Diversity is Our Weakness, Assimilation was our Strength!

The most diverse nation on earth needs no reminder of just how ethnically diverse it is. What bears reminding, is the need for all ethnically diverse comers to assimilate into American culture and society. Assimilation is our strength - from many, one.

If your homeland was worth celebrating, it would still be your homeland. The reason you came to America was to join in the benefits of the uniquely American culture, where it matters not at all where you came from, but instead, only where you are going. In doing so, you left behind a culture and society much less attractive and America is not interested in importing that culture.

In order to continue guaranteeing true equal opportunity for all in the land of milk and honey, the founding American principles we used to celebrate in common, need to remain intact as the foundation for the most successful social experiment on earth.

Celebrating cultural and ethnic diversity, our differences, is a system designed to divide a nation.

A powerful truth that will be passed off as racist hate speech... But a powerful truth none the less!

This guy keeps nailing it, time after time.

As an immigrant myself, I say that it’s foolishness to come to a country and attempt to import the ideas, values, and customs that turned the country you left into the sort of place you wanted to leave in the first place.

Many props to this writer.

Celebrating cultural and ethnic diversity, our differences, is a system designed to divide a nation.

Which is exactly what the goal of "multiculturalism" is.

[Beckwith]

True diversity if fine.

Marxism, disguised as diversity sux.

[Kieri]

Diversity = Divisiveness.

You’re right, this article is spot on.

[garyhope]

Thanks for posting this.

Multi ethnic, fine. Multi cultural, NO.

Why come here if you don’t want to assimilate? The test and qualifications for citizenship should be very rigorous.

How can we account for this remarkable silence? The answer, as I will try to show, is that when the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 was being considered in Congress, the demographic impact of the bill was misunderstood and downplayed by its sponsors. As a result, the subject of population change was never seriously examined. The lawmakers’ stated intention was that the Act should not radically transform America’s ethnic character; indeed, it was taken for granted by liberals such as Robert Kennedy that it was in the nation’s interest to avoid such a change. But the dramatic ethnic transformation that has actually occurred as a result of the 1965 Act has insensibly led to acceptance of that transformation in the form of a new, multicultural vision of American society. Dominating the media and the schools, ritualistically echoed by every politician, enforced in every public institution, this orthodoxy now forbids public criticism of the new path the country has taken. “We are a nation of immigrants,” we tell ourselves— and the subject is closed. The consequences of this code of silence are bizarre. One can listen to statesmen and philosophers agonize over the multitudinous causes of our decline, and not hear a single word about the massive immigration from the Third World and the resulting social divisions. Opponents of population growth, whose crusade began in the 1960s out of a concern about the growth rate among resident Americans and its effects on the environment and the quality of life, now studiously ignore the question of immigration, which accounts for fully half of our population growth.

This curious inhibition stems, of course, from a paralyzing fear of the charge of “racism.” The very manner in which the issue is framed—as a matter of equal rights and the blessings of diversity on one side, versus “racism” on the other—tends to cut off all rational discourse on the subject. One can only wonder what would happen if the proponents of open immigration allowed the issue to be discussed, not as a moralistic dichotomy, but in terms of its real consequences. Instead of saying: “We believe in the equal and unlimited right of all people to immigrate to the U.S. and enrich our land with their diversity,” what if they said: “We believe in an immigration policy which must result in a staggering increase in our population, a revolution in our culture and way of life, and the gradual submergence of our current population by Hispanic and Caribbean and Asian peoples.” Such frankness would open up an honest debate between those who favor a radical change in America’s ethnic and cultural identity and those who think this nation should preserve its way of life and its predominant, European-American character. That is the actual choice—as distinct from the theoretical choice between “equality” and “racism”—that our nation faces. But the tyranny of silence has prevented the American people from freely making that choice.

AMEN!!

[PlainOleAmerican]

Thank you!

[PlainOleAmerican]

Exactly!

Today, they are taught before they even get here that America is a feeding trough for the world...

Once here, they are given a handbook on how to exploit all of our generous government help-me programs.

Once they realize that their loyalty and special interest vote has value, they sell it to the highest bidder...

[PlainOleAmerican]

You bet!

The bottom-feeding libs don’t care, as long as they can get the votes of non-assimilators. IMHO, it should be required that ALL IMMIGRANTS SPEAK ENGLISH, and REQUIRED NO SPECIAL, PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT. But of course, pandering to cultural and language differences is how the libs scrape up votes — our governments, at ALL levels, have forgotten the REAL citizen in favor of the vote-getting mode FOR POWER AND CONTROL.

Assimilation by a single white race from Europe more than 200 years ago is strength? Give me a break! I see cross marriages right now between whites of different nationality and language with no problem and ease. Diversity deals with people of different “race” and it would take several generations for “recent” immigrants to truly assimilate via racial integration. I hate to say it but interracial marriages are the only way but unfortunately people are too different that it would take some time because they just simply want to hang out with their own kind. I don’t think its racist but more of a natural human tendency which applies to everyone. You have to look at each perspective to understand what we’re dealing with here. Ultimately, I agree with assimilation as the key but if we don’t figure out a way for each race to mingle then I think the “United” States will eventually seize to exist. On a positive side, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the US eventually assimilated into a truly mixed and unique culturaly society, the only one of its kind in this planet, that is the true experiment.
