Heh heh - PC old chap. Here's an example of both 'two-tier society' and 'we'll muddle through': There's a major street that runs through both Santa Ana and Westminster in Orange County. It's called 1st Street in Santa Ana and Bolsa Ave in Westminster.
Santa Ana is Hispanic and Westminster is Viet Namese. Both cities are largely immigrant communities, both experienced language barriers, both have had the same basic opportunities. The one big difference is that within a span of a mile or so, one community looks like Mexico while the other just finished a large street improvement project through the heart of 'Little Saigon'.
One community (guess which one) is a riot of commerce, while the other becoming a sleepy, dusty backwater. Now, where it gets interesting is who do the VN like to hire as their kitchen/grocery help?
That's what I meant by we'll carry on, but it will be a two-tier society. It doesn't have to be 'whites' sitting on top of the pyramid - it can be anyone who is more industrious and capable.
Very interesting analysis lemura.
I wonder though if even the Asians will be able to self-govern in the tradition of America's past system of governance once (let's say) the old guard is no longer dominant. Because of cultural differences that become more pronounced as the old structure fades away. Differences that led to the dissolving of the Rule of Law and thus the underpinnings of a free enterprise system conductive to economic prosperity.
