There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities." Theodore Roosevelt - 26th President of the United States (1858-1919) In the present, there are African-Americans, Native-Americans etc. People, it seems, no longer identify themselves as simply, Americans.

Look at Canada, Quebec is like having a foreign country in their country. Differant language, cultures, food, road signs, hookers, everything.

Theodore Roosevelt - 26th President of the United States (1858-1919) I don’t understand why. Isn’t it the coming together of so many heritages that makes this such a great place? Does mentioning where our pasts lie cancel out where we are now? quote: In the present, there are African-Americans, Native-Americans etc. People, it seems, no longer identify themselves as simply, Americans. When did these groups not identify in this way? Kim

It aint a problem. The only people who have a problem with it are the people that can't cope with people being different.

He'd say the same thing. His was a country of Germans and Irishmen and Italians etc. Not to mention he became President when an anarchist shot McKinley.

Where can one get a nice hooker?

Haven't they tried to suceed from Canada a few times?

The fact is, all those votes failed, the majority are happier to be part of the larger country than the smaller one. There's always a separatist minority, but they don't define the greater whole. However, in the context of this thread, there's no problem with having a separatist tendency in a country. Keeps the rest of us on our toes. No country is a monoculture. Indeed, the very best and most succesful countries embrace polyculturalism. If that means that one of the miriad cultures is a bit mouthy, then so be it. It's the price you pay for being as strong as a mongrel and not as fragile as a pure-breed.

I have had a number of discussions about this very issue. The hyphenated identity does not bother me in the least. It does seem to be a very touchy subject for some other people though. Apart from the Indigenous People that were already here, most of us are the descendants of immigrants. So what is wrong with remembering where we came from? quote: ORIGINAL: jlf1961 In the present, there are African-Americans, Native-Americans etc. People, it seems, no longer identify themselves as simply, Americans.
