For both Americans of immigrant decent and to those who think they are the exception. Why is the difference...
Answer:
Would you rephrase your question and be more specific?
Pick the culture you identify with the most and move there if bringing things that are transportable with are not enough. It's that simple.
i cant decipher your question
I don't understand what you're asking. Could you please rephrase it?
Your English is, uh, really bad. I think I know what you're hinting at, but I couldn't possibly answer this without some clarification.
No habla ebonics.55% of minorities drop out of high school.
ALL Americans are descended from Immigrants.
The Anglos just have a convenient memory, and forget the Irish, Italian, Eastern European, not to mention the Pilgrims before them.
I was born in Mexico, but I grew up on a beach, with a bunch of dirty haired white boys, blue collared boys and Mexicans, and as a child all we saw was an expanse of ocean and WE crossed every forbidden border together because it was of a young-forward-looking primal nature, that pushed us to keep looking just over that edge.
sometime around junior high are parents and schools got a hold of us..
...see there responses...that's what I mean Anglos are different now.they get the jist of what your asking..but they'd rather make fun of a question...
we should treat them accordingly.
they keep asking for it.
No les debes nada, simplemente as los esfuersos necesarios para superiar te, frente dios y tu familia, la opinion de unos gr!ng0s de trailer no importa, no tiene consequencia...ten fe en tu gente que te respalda
I GUESS THERE LETTING EVERYONE THAT STUCK BETWEEN MEXICO AND AMERICA SEE JUST HOW THEY FEEL AND WHERE WE SHOULD STAND...
Do you want somebody break into your house anytime they need to have a better life?
The misplaced ''why'' instead of ''what'' was obvious, that isn't whats confusing everyone here and impeding them from understanding your question. The parts of your question that don't make sense are:
''What is the difference between you 'and your heritage land that causes you to be all American alone...'''
That question doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The difference between me and my ''heritage land'', which I'm assuming is the country of origin of my ancestors, is that I am a person, and my ''heritage land'' is a country.
''...to be all American alone...'', eh? Just take a look at this gramatically for a second. This could be the line from some stoic song from the 70's or something. Either the ''all'' in front of ''American'' is misplaced, or the ''alone'' is. Either way it doesn't make sense.
''...to be able to not feel attacked by your fellow Americans for your loved ones interest in coming to the U.S. regardless of legal or illegal?'' This depends entirely on wether the person in question IS actually being attacked. You're using a negative clause in the wrong sense there. In order to ''not'' feel attacked, the person would either be ignoring an attack that actually happened, or the person didn't get attacked in the first place. This is way too confusing to try to sort through in order to give you an answer.
?? please repeat the question?
Being an Legal American is just that being an American not a hyphenated American
I have no African-American friends, or Mexican-American, Australian-American or any hyphenated-friends. I just have friends, American friends and non-American friends. I just use the word friends. OK sometimes smart or stupid-friends.
I'm against "hyphenated" Americans. Only those who hold duel citizenship should be hyphenated. If an American wishes to acknowledge their heritage doesn't it make sense to be American-African, American-Mexican, America-Cuban...etc. There's no hyphen before the word American.
I'm not sure I understand all of your questions. You asked "what makes us all Americans, what unites us all?" Besides the obvious, our citizenship, there are many factors:
The English language, which still unites most of us, including most of the Hispanic population. Our involvement in our political system and in our religious life. We can belong to different religions and vote for different parties, yet we are still all Americans sharing common experiences.
Also, our history, the events we relate to and define the American experience. Important events that defined the last three generations include the Depression, the two world wars, the Cold War, the civil rights movement, Vietnam, landing on the Moon, the first Space Shuttle mission, recessions and recoveries, movies and music, the Internet, elections, our favorite Presidents and more recently - September 11, 2001.
The rest of your questions, I don't understand.
I,m an American , proud of it , if you choose to hyphenate your self , don't blame others. Chose to denigrate yourself, that choice is yours alone. I,m American, whatever Blood flows in my Veins, will not alter my Allegiance to America.
True, and I agree with "El Angel Rojo"
I can tell you what he is asking.and some of you can too, you are just being deliberatly obtuse.
He is basically saying that recent immigrants to our country - throughout our history - have all still held a love for their mother country and have taken in pride in where they are from. They keep the language, the culture, the food, religion, music, etc from their own country and blend it slowly over generations into the new culture...but the original culture is not forgotten.
He is asking you what is wrong with that.
I for one say there is nothing wrong with it. For many whose family has been here for 4 or 5 generations, some may have lost that original culture - or most of it - certainly the language...and that's sad. But many who come here from foreign lands, settle in and keep their ties to the old country. Some have relatives there.
For the poster, please don't take offense to a lot of these people who answer you. So many today have no idea where they came from, who the old ones were in their family who made the decision to leave the homeland and come here. They are rootless. Their parents don't know either - and in many cases -the grandparents don't know either. The are, indeed refugees in this world who suddenly popped into existence 50 or 100 years ago and haven't a clue where they came fro.
It's sad.
