America the melting pot

[VitaMan]

Those that have been fortunate to travel the world realize what a diverse country America is. Most countries have one ethnic group. In America, it is as if you took a sampling of people from each of these different countries, and set them down in America. Foreigners who travel here sometimes mention America is many countries in one. Others mention you have a whole continent here.



But is it truly a melting pot ? Possibly in the workplace. Other than that, we still seem to be a separated mixture of cultures and hoods......even after a few generations have passed.


And the white majority and founders of the country continue to fade away. America will look much different in another 200 years. Will the white majority give up its position and status gracefully ?


It did not happen easily in the Reconstruction period after the Civil War. Positive attempts were made in the 1870s. "40 acres and a mule" only lasted a few years.The struggle and fear of each other, losing power and control set that back another 100 years. Another comment about America: "America always does the right thing, after trying everything else."



Some things to consider as we head into the Christmas season, besides being wound up in temporary or current events, no matter your political leanings.

Judging by the tone of this forum since the beginning, the answer is no.

Should we judge the direction of this country based on this forum? I don't believe we have a Muslim contingent here, YR/HH. Not everybody celebrates Christmas, Vman.

There is a steady and rapidly growing representation in the House. That is the real fear psychos like Greene push against.

She was summarily bitch-slapped down after trying to create a WASPy caucus. For the party's own good.

Just food for thought.

... Rather not sure HOW or WHY you considour "white people"
a soon-to-be "minority" in America.

You seem to NOT understand things.

Statistics suggest Caucasians will be less than 50% of the US population ''soon''. Otherwise known as ''white people''.

Ridiculous comment, as shown by a more knowledgeable member just above

True but the numbers are going to be concentrated in 3 or 4 of states

... Really? ... Lemme give you a news flash.

... "Latinos" and those coming from Central and
South America... They DO NOT considour themselves
non-white.

... They ARE White People.

Salty, you have gone bonkers.


Maybe some more shrimp on the barbie will help.

... Once again, you don't seem to understand things, mate.

Why is it here in America - you Yanks always wanna separate
people by race? ... And when ya don't like THAT result,
then you separate by colour.

It's ONE race in most other countries... Look at Canada, for example.
Do THEY have a "race problem"? If so, we surely don't hear about it.

WHY is it simply BLACK or WHITE here? ... Where "white privelidge"
is bad? ... Why are just the people with white skin the racists??

As I mention - the Latinos and Central Americans are One Race.
They see themselves as WHITE. Not Black.
This is NOT a racial issue.

This must be an Australian thing. In Canada they don't classify all their citizens as one race.



To assist, you can go to Walmart and use of the automatic blood pressure machines. It will ask for your race before you get your blood pressure checked. There is a big list you can review before deciding which one to check off.



Also the US Census would be another place to look at.

Salty, Where are you getting this notion that Latinos are white? They're not.

Latinos are a very broad category of people who aren't white.

They fall into 4 groups: indigenous tribes, Spanish/Portuguese, blacks, and mix of all three (mesquitos). The only latino thats technically white are those of Spanish/Portuguese descent. The rest are mostly brown.

[Salty Again]

... No, just one race... They're ALL Canadians.
Blokes like me AND Aborigines are ALL Australian.

WHY here in America is it not ALL Americans.
Central Americans and South Americans also.

And WHY is it just "Black Lives Matter"?? Why not "ALL Lives Matter"...

And of course Black lives matter. But why separate it?
All surely seem rather silly to me.
