Teddy Roosevelt was NOT a multiculturalist.

Bite Sized Wisdom: Theodore Roosevelt

By Rob on Bite Sized Wisdom
Say Anything
    In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant 
who comes here in good faith becomes an American and
assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an
exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage
to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or
birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the
man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but
an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any
man who says he is an American, but something else also,
isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which
symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization,
just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation
to which we are hostile…We have room for but one language
here, and that is the English language…and we have room
for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the
American people.
– Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
