So we know that conservatives/TPers/whatever dislike it which I suppose makes them "racists" or "bigots".



But what about those on the left? Is it ok for other immigrants to come to the US/Western nation or any developed nation without adapting to US/Western law and culture?

There isn't a law against it but why migrate here if you don't plan on assimilating into our society? Nothing wrong with retaining one's native culture or language at home but out in mainstream America blend in rather than remaining separate and standing out.

You obviously get it, but I want to hear from our proclaimed tolerant and accepting folks from the left if they are ok what I asked in the OP.


Oh I forgot to add in the OP: Be honest. Thanks.

What exactly does a US monoculture look like? Because I sure as hell have never seen one. What do conservatives have against the very manner in which this country was formed?

What kind of freedom loving American would be against the rich tapestry of human life and the desire amongst people to express their own identity in the manner they see fit?

Where did I say they shouldn't have their own identity? Reread my question.

Well, they still have to conform to Western law regardless of culture. For example, the United States has freedom of religion, and I can't thing of a single religion that actually supports that (this included Judaism and Christianity). So if someone from North African comes a disagrees with freedom of religion for their own religious/cultural reasons... well that's too bad. Keep it to them self or go else where.

With that said, even if they don't really care for other religions, so long as they simply get past that (agree to disagree), they should have full rights to continue any cultural or religious practices they had from their homeland. They don't have to celebrate thanksgiving, independence day, or whatever if they choose not to.

What is here to agree or disagree with? America has been multicultural from day one and it will stay this way. Are you proposing that we force the Amish to speak English and shave their long beards?
Multiculturalism in America is a fact, like gravity. It does not matter if you agree with ir or not.

Of course liberals agree with multiculturalism since that is the state religion today. It is just a tool used to protect the rights of certain groups of people while at the same time help facilitate open borders immigration which is turning the USA and all the other Anglosphere countries into a third world.

Funny that this was almost exactly the argument against the Irish and Italian immigration to America. LOL
Conservatives never change.
