His "Vietnamese" example is disgusting. Vietnamese people have assimlated gratefully into American culture.Yes, that is true.
Anderson is stuck in a racist view of immigration, rather than examining illegal immigration as a violation of the law.
That he uses Vietnamese people in his example indicts him as both confused and a racist.

My mom lives in Murfreesboro TN outside Nashville where a large group of Laotians and Vietnamese were settled. The Laotians are much more clannish and have some gang problems in their youth culture. The Vietnamese have still retained a lot of their "identity" but do indeed assimilate more although I have known several of the girls whose fathers in particular were loathe for them to date or marry outside their community.
Not that I care, it's their business. They didn't express quite the same vaunted social engineering views so touted by many on this forum.
It's all rather complex and inevitable.
In race and ethnicity matters today in America I see two big issues looming over all others. First is the plague or black illegitimacy and second is the imminent proliferation of Mexican illegals. What everyone plans to do about those two issues is crucial....and I mean "everyone".
