> Brighter days ahead once again for the descendants of those that settled, built, and fought for this country. A very 1920s vibe in the 2020s, which makes me sad that we've slid this far back, that so many Americans no longer believe that the melting pot is a good idea even in theory. | ||

The melting pot idea clearly benefits some groups more than others. It should come as no surprise when the groups that it does not benefit start questioning the origin of that idea and who is pushing it in the first place. | ||

Who said anything about a melting pot? I'm not sure why you'd derail a comment that speaks to Americans that have been here for a hundred+ years, vs newcomers. There's nothing anti-melting pot about it. It reads that your true intentions are something else. Of course it's wrong to keep pummeling people who are already here with millions of new people with zero protectionism whatsoever. If you think black, hispanic, asian, and white people alike haven't been here for 100+ years and we all deserve better than we've received... well, you just don't know much about this country. And I'm glad you're tormented due to that ignorance. | ||
