Where in Missouri does the South begin? (Springfield, Columbia: fit in, versus)

^ American "heritage" always has been, and always will be, the sum of the immigrant cultures the country is composed of. 100 years ago we had German and Norwegian and Italian newspapers in the big cities. STL had/has Bosnian language stuff. Now we have Mexican and Ethiopian and Hmong and Chinese and Russian and who knows what other kinds of media. This is the natural state of affairs in a country that has always embraced immigrants and which was built by its immigrants, and that is as American as it gets. American culture = immigrant culture.

I don't have a problem with other nationalities having their own newspapers, but walking into a major chain grocery store and all the signs in Spanish is NOT American. I couldn't even read what the advertisements were except for the few Spanish words I knew from living in Florida in the past.

If I went to Deutschland or Österreich I would expect the language to be spoken to be Deutsche and same for signs and such. Same if I went to Japan I would expect to have to know Japanese culture and not force my own culture on them like the Hispanics are in many parts of this country.

Good lecture on embracing immigration, but it's a bit ironic your dream city is one of the whitest big cities in the country.

Stl CITY isn't very white at all. 50 percent of the residents are black and another percentage is of other races such as Hispanic, Chinese, Vietnamese etc.

MSP has about 15% percent foreign born compared to STL's less than 7%. So what if it's more white than STL? It's still way more diverse.

When I went into Winn Dixie, their advertisements are in Spanish. Even the signs for the Deli, Produce dept were also in Spanish. Didn't see that in Publix.

I thought I was in a Mexican grocery store.

I guess because I want to preserve my heritage it makes me "racist" then so be it. Yall can vote Democrat and support amnesty that takes away jobs and burdens the tax payer.

Everybody else, all of us, also want Mexicans and Haitians to speak English.

That's not why people asked you if you're a white supremacist.

You openly declared that you love Hitler.

How's that working out for you?

Yeah but you see, the three types of newspapers you named, were catered to WHITE people you see?
Mexican, Ethiopian, Hmong and Chinese are not white. I'm sure he's fine with "Russian".

He's a White Nazi, is a member of Stormfront (his handle there has been outted) and worships Hitler. He even wrote that he pretended to bash Hitler here so that he wouldn't be outted as a white Nazi and get bashed.
