You hit the nail on the head. Being a patriotic American is a way of thinking, not a race or color. A lot of people thought the same way when the Irish and the Italians came over in large numbers - but they assimilated into the American culture, which is based on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, not on skin color.
What is needed is a program to teach school age children about the real American values and the real Constitution - ooops, we are doomed...
You hit the nail on the head. Being a patriotic American is a way of thinking, not a race or color. Yep, you are right. Washington, Jefferson & Adams could have just as easily been Chang, Wu & Chen. We would still be all about Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and 4th of July Laba Festival. It would make no difference.
