That is what it has to do with this. I don't want the US to be caught up in a constant back-and-forth race war, even if it is merely a social/economical/political war and not a military one like in the Middle East.

Ah. Now specifically who is formenting a "race war" here? You are saying that if all the divergent factions move the take over this nation politically, for their own enrichment, the original founders of the nation (European type, whether you like that fact or not) we should just let them, in the interests in order to avoid a "back and forth race war"?

In the spirit of proportion and identifying interests in this debate, to which ethnic group do you belong?

Does seem a bit like unilateral disarmament, doesn't it? You have peace right up until the time you are obliterated

I wonder if you're engaging in selective reading. I'm pretty sure I addressed this point earlier, but maybe I haven't done a good job explaining myself.

My point is that we need to stop looking at race and start looking at what is best for America. America has always rested the foundation of Western Civilization and, especially, English cultural mores. These are the things that made this country great. Part of that culture is the Rule of Law, which is *supposed* to apply to all races equally. Thus, it is un-American to make laws that either help or hinder any one group over another.

I said I would gladly join a fight against *any* group of hyphenated Americans, because I think the concept is un-American and only forments discord and hard feelings. You should not appeal to me or anyone based on race, but on the fact we are Americans, and these groups are acting contrary to the American Way.

*Please* read this entire post. As for my own race: why does it matter? Am I not an American? I was born and raised here. I took part in a war while serving this country. Politically, appealing to race is just wrong, whomever does it.
