I agree lorne. When an American criticizes the fact that immigrants don't assimilate into the culture, the politically correct crowd always responds with words to the effect "your ancestors didn't speak the language either when they emigrated to USA." I always reply that my paternal ancestors came from England(in 1866) so that wasn't the case, but it certainly was true for my mother's family, who spoke only Gaelic when they arrived in 1883. However, they quickly learned English and became more American than the Americans:)
(After the Normans invaded Ireland they blended so thoroughly and quickly into the native Irish culture, that one of the English monarchs complained they were "more Irish than the Irish.")

Globalization has not yet had the positive effect that was preached so zealously by it's advocates some yrs ago. The sales pitch stated that free trade would cause Western influence that would eventually eradicate barbaric practices from less civilized cultures, and thereby improve the quality of life in 3rd world nations. Instead, free traders are allowing the dirt-cheap labor they crave to import their backward cultural traditions as well. Women of the world need to unite against such uncivilized behavior. Females always seem to be the principal target of the ignorant attitudes in those backward nations.
