New arrivals are melting in - it’s not all or nothing as you state. don’t forget, most of us came here to become American - not to remake it in the image of the countries we left willingly and with pleasure.
Salad bowls, by their very definition, benefit those who depend on racial animus to remake America - for the worse.
Many immigrants like me want more meatloaf (constituent parts making a whole) - and less salad bowl (unmixed/uncooked ingredients with a Big Liberal dressing)
I plan to make a audio/video of tuning-through my radio station selections. With perhaps 50 AM stations, two are in English—and one of the two is "all-sports". :-(
Do I live in the USA?
