Sure, and what is happening today is not the same thing as that. It's not rational to claim it is so.
We are importing people who are uneducated, can't even support themselves, and really offer us zero value other than the votes they promise to hand over to the democrats. Meanwhile, our nation gets colonized. Great deal.

As distasteful as you find that, it has little or nothing to do with our current problems.Speaker to Animals wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:Well, it did make us the global center of innovation and wealth accumulation for two centuries, so there's that...Speaker to Animals wrote: To hang your hat on that success as some kind of proof positive that we can integrate anybody from planet Earth into our societies is not rational and certainly hasn't panned out at all.

Being the lone superpower has (inevitably) led to massive corruption and perversion of our system. We're about to collapse into a dictatorship - right on schedule.

You literally are defending the notion that integrating an Italian, who shares our religious background, history, and civilizational values is the same thing as integrating some uneducated Muslim goat herder from Waziristan.
Think about the insanity of what you are defending for a moment. Seriously sit down and consider how stupid it sounds.

The reason all these European groups were able to integrate here was the establishment of white identity in the United States. It doesn't fucking carry over to just anybody.

It is the same thing. If our 'culture' is threatened by including 'the wrong type of people', then we don't have a culture in the first place.Speaker to Animals wrote:You literally are defending the notion that integrating an Italian, who shares our religious background, history, and civilizational values is the same thing as integrating some uneducated Muslim goat herder from Waziristan.

White identity had nothing to do with integration among different white ethnicities in North America.

That might be more stupid than the time you denied how electromagnetism works. Go read a history book.

The melting pot myth you mean? What does that have to do "white identity", that's American identity.Speaker to Animals wrote:StCapps wrote:White identity had nothing to do with integration among different white ethnicities in North America.
