Absolutely, let's chuck political correctness right out the door, never liked it personally and refrained to notable degree from practising it ... be aware however, that this will cut both ways, and the class composed of Cranky Old White Guys With Too Much Time On Their Hands will also take some flak

The country could use more Bruce Allens and less Raymond Chans, imho ... we have enough han chinese to do us for a long time, Mr Chan and others are demonstrating for us what happens when you import concentrations large enough to ghettoise themselves and establish little fiefdoms ... better to give the current batch time enough to mix in with the general population before bringing in more, same applies to east indians with the possible exception of sikhs, anyone who doubts the necessity of this should cruise around the Lower Mainland for a bit

Notice that you don't get this stuff from latinos ... a certain degree of immigration is useful to us in a number of ways, including contact with trading partners - why then do we not allow in a reasonable percentage of immigrants from our own hemisphere, our almost-next-door neighbours ... with peruanos, chilenos, mexicanos, you get excellent work ethic and family values, yet you're not dealing with a people who have enslaved tibetans and now drool at the prospect of gobbling the taiwanese

Every immigrant we know here [and we know a lot] makes a huge effort to learn english, fwiw ... of course, we're nowhere near Richmond

It's a secular nation and we like it that way - means we don't need any muslims, zionists, or born-again extremists of the USA type, these are all intolerant exclusivist religions that lead directly to violence by their very nature and customs

Scots - scots built the country in the first place, why not a few more, along with other brits, scandahoovians, krauts, polacks, dutch, czechs, italians, spanish, ukrainians, even a few frenchmen maybe ... but definitely more latinos than the current proportion of inflow, just pull immigration staff off the asian cases and send them south, it's that simple

As far as your question goes, i doubt that Allen has anything to worry about, my comment before was to point out that whoever wrote that piece mentioned the anthem and then was quite wrong about its origin, which is ignorant ... there's a rebuttal from Allen on wikipedia, i do hope he's laid into the Chan-types a little more clearly than this since - en.wikipedia.org
