Nope, not disingenuous at all.
This is America.
We are a cultural melting pot.
You assimilate with us, or GTFO as Teddy Roosevelt said.
And I noticed you are mostly posting to me.
Did you get a “help me” note?
I was posting to you because I answered one of your comments, and now wevare having a conversation. ; ). There are so many topics involved; regarding assimilation, immigrants have brought a lot of traditions to the American culture, like Christmas trees (German). That made me think aboutbwhat other, not “cutesy/quaint/food” ideas immigrants may have introduced. I’d like to see if I can think of some. I’ll bet there are some. What do you think?
