I am not asking anyone anything other then ASSIMILATION! My forefathers arrived in this country in 1629...it was the best country we ever stole. So unless someone is Lakota...assimilate!

Well guess what. I happen to be half Native American and I don't appreciate that type of imperical, racist comment. At least you got the stealing part right but kinda forgot about the genocide. As we Native Americans always say Custer Died For Your Sins!!

Joke or not. It was racist and to make things very clear I am American Indian. I don't normally announce it but in this case I did to make a point. If you are really American Indian ( that is have real blood and not some wannabe who had one ancestor 300 years ago who was part Indian) then you should know better. If threads get locked it's because of people making statements that violate the TOS like personal attacks. You have no one to blame but other than yourself.

Please look over the terms of service for this site. http://www.city-data.com/forumtos.html

"Be civil, no personal attacks, flaming, or insults. We may attack ideas (politely) but we do not attack the speaker of the idea. Be careful with your words, there is a point where being direct crosses a line into blunt, in-your-face hostility. Please, report bad posts instead of engaging in flame wars on the boards. Insulting another member or a moderator will not be tolerated anywhere on this website. This includes Direct Messages and Reputation Comments.

If you disagree with something, say so, but explain WHY.

Stay on topic. Attempts to hi-jack threads by switching topics or going off topic will be deleted and infractions issued. This is not a chat room - when people hi-jack threads by posting messages that are of interest to only few people, the threads often stop being useful discussions of initial topics.

Hate speech, racism or bashing of ANY sort will NOT be tolerated. Rude posts will be removed and infractions issued. Do not quote or talk to trolls or your posts will also be deleted. Use the report feature instead."


Definition of racism, in case you are wondering:

What is wrong with Hispanic growth? I am assuming they are talking about LEGAL immigrants.
