Oh my.
That's putting it a bit strongly, no? ("blight", etc?)
I won't allow my wife to go to that parking lot alone with the kids due to how certain stores' patrons drive and act. They'll literally walk right into you as if you aren't there. Kids, women, doesn't matter.
Well then be glad these people who might fly other flags aren't moving into your neighborhood. You don't want to see all that and hear other languages, so be happy they apparently aren't jumping up and down to be with you.
Though Black servicemen who fought for this country where denied full GI benefits, and you couldn't have been any more assimilated than them. They were Christian, spoke only English and still screwed and not given the full rights of Americans.
Why would anyone bother to assimilate in an all "American" neighborhood, with all that implies? I think the white neo confederates who were marching in Viriginia and Seattle don't approve of that kind of stuff. You know, the ones wishing the confederacy had won the war, and who just LOVE the US before the 60s.
Racial issues aside, you hate people because of this or that, and just want to lock people up in jail, so if you are representative of SI why in good's name would anyone want to assimilate with that. Your neighborhood is for YOUR people, with all that implies.
Many 1st generation and 2nd generation American born citizens of Italy, Ireland and Germany were not taught to speak in their native tongue.
Of my two nationalities, not one person in the generation before mine was taught a word of either language. As my one grandfather used to say bluntly: "You don't need it."
My mental response is always the same: If your "homeland" was so worth celebrating, why the f**k don't you go back there. My Ukrainian ancestry goes back to the Civil War...Austrian side came over 100 years ago. I celebrate neither.
Weekend parades are much less annoying this year because with the Second Avenue Q-train. I rarely take buses anymore. It was a chore to get detoured in a bus by a parade nearly every weekend all Summer.
Why not? The USA was built on immigrants. A parade happens once a year. I feel like people want to be angry at the most trivial s***!
Many cultures/nations have invented nothing and contributed jack to the world. So a parade is one of the only things they actually have to be proud about, other than the occasional breakout athlete. So let them have a parade. Why the mean-spiritedness?

Also I know a Dominican who was valedictorian in a very white school and goes to a top three Ivy League school. You probably haven't achieved either.
I have no objections to German-American parades and will not discriminate against other nationalities doing the same, as long as they do not break the law.
Actually take that back. It proves the truth of my first post.
