Hm, well, you righties like to brag about what an incredible country this is (or was, until Obama showed up ). Funny how it was diversity that built it ...
Irish immigrants
Chinese immigrants
German immigrants
Scandinavian immigrants
African, er, immigrants (you get my point)
Everything we have today is the product of people of all skin colors, religions and origins becoming Americans and building the modern America. The "quantifiable proof" you demand is in every single thing we have today.
Oh, wait, those don't count? You only meant diversity with brown skinned people is bad? Got it.
Or maybe you figure this great country was built entirely by white hetero males and that diversity has been bringing it downhill since the 17th century, the last time they were the only ones building America. Equally
The whites and Asians have contributed to this country. The others have been a net drain and overall burden in terms of social programs and crime. If this country were just whites and Asians, we would have crime rates and levels of poverty similar to northern Europe.

As if Whites and Asians themselves don't account for diversity, much less diversity within EACH of those broad groups you've identified (one based on continent and the other based on a mix of colors of a rainbow).

Well, since you finally decided to attempt a logical response, the least I can do is shoot it down.
White and Asian immigrants were LOATHED by whites for most of the 19th and part of the 20th century until they managed to get on their feet and contribute to society.
A hundred years from now people will look back at this era of bigotry against Hispanics with as much disgust as we now look back on those decades. And Hispanics will have dragged themselves out of poverty in the same way that the grandparents of most of the rightwing bigots on this board did. It's how immigration works.
(I know, I know, it's DIFFERENT this time because, um, black man in the White House?)
Reaching the bottom of a liberal's respect barrel is even better.

Obama is only half-black. You all forget that his trashy, skank mother was white.
Nothing makes my day more than when a liberal thinks less of me.
1. Not a liberal.
2. I would had to have held you in some regard first to actually do that.
