The word "diversity" comes from the word "divide". This country is built on finding the similarties among us, no matter what nationality or background we come from, not the differences. I'm tired of being told I have to embrace "diversity", and I'm really tired of being told we are a nation of immigrants. We are supposed to be a nation of Americans!!!
And I refuse to be called a racist for wanting my state, my homeland secured. Notwithstanding, our immigration policies did nothing to protect us on September 11, 2001. They were here legally.

Other countries, such as MEXICO, have elitist immigration policies. Naturalized Citizens will never be considered real citizens and will never have the rights of native-born citizens. Ever heard the story of blacks being pulled over and forced to sing the Mexican Anthem to prove that they are "Mexican."

The smearing of "diversity" is a cover to revive racism and segregationism. The attack of political correctness is an attack of decency. Apparently the real goal of these extremists is to make n---ger an acceptable word again without social sanctions that the "political correctness police" have enforced.

I'm tired of being told that we are Americans. We are supposed to be a nation of North Americans.

KerrTown:

Citizens of the USA are known as 'Americans'-------no more, no less.

I am an American------of Hungarian, English, Irish and possibly Black and American Indian tossed in about 6 generations back.

Canadians are citizens of Canada along the lines of a Mexican being a citizen of Mexico.

You wouldn't be saying that if a Rush Limbaugh convinced you otherwise.

I've asked many White people what their Ethnicity was. Most of them said German. Not one said they were just flat out White.

And this surprises you? Why would they state the obvious?

Race and ethnicity are not the same.

I am 'White' yet my ethnicity; outside of being simply 'American' is Hungarian, English, and probably Irish, Black and American Indian (just a touch of the last two).

It should surprise you that they understood your question better than you did!

Since when is "white" an ethnicity? There are white Hispanics, white Europeans, and even white Africans.

"Hispanic" is often (badly) used as an "ethnicity" but in the end, do a black Panamanian, a white Argenitinian, a Mestizo Mexican, and a indigenous Guatemalen REALLY share the same "ethnicity"?

Biologically speaking; of course not----------but; US Government guidelines are oftentimes illogical at best.
