Well, People forget that it took 3 generations at least for European immigrants to assimilate. That was before satellite TV stations were broadcasting national language TV shows or media was being written in languages other than English. <BR/><BR/>There are Italian Americans are still a strong sub-culture of their own (i.e. see Sopranos and the Godfather). <BR/><BR/>Assimilation is different nowadays. And every immigrant group has had to fight for acceptance in this country. And let's point out that I haven't seen anything that talks about any other group but Latinos. I am sure that there are illegal immigrants of all ethnicities. <BR/><BR/>I have also noticed that NPR at least has been repeating over an over that protesters are waving "American" flags.<BR/> <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>USWestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1144755931977866322006-04-11T04:45:00.000-07:002006-04-11T04:45:00.000-07:00I heard a woman calling in on NPR complaining that...I heard a woman calling in on NPR complaining that "My family's Irish and we never got 'in your face' about our heritage...blah blah blah racism hate hate don't protest against our President blah blah"<BR/><BR/>All I could think about was whether she pinched people for not wearing green on St. Paddy's day. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://thecitizens.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="">Raised By Republicans</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1144719492362173732006-04-10T18:38:00.000-07:002006-04-10T18:38:00.000-07:00I don't see a big difference between the first two...I don't see a big difference between the first two photos.
