I love when you get on your soapbox.

And I think your emphasis on language as the key is right on. (ooo- 60s talk)
We have always been diverse, but with the understanding that the diversity was within a common unity-
When I watch the wonderful PBS shows that are done from Ellis Island, they always show these moving clips of immigrants with tears on their cheeks as they see the Statue of Liberty. For them, it was something important when they became citizens. Now I feel as if people must be thinking more that they are Mexicans (e.g., please) who qualify for the benefits of living here. I don't think people are leaving their old allegiances behind to be Americans first-- and of their heritage second. If that makes sense.

While I think you write a great post, I, a pale pink woman of color, will not however hoist my skirt for you.
