How do you define "American?" (illegal, accuse, border)

Likewise, “affirmative action” is imposed and defended in the name of justice, but is inherently unjust: The most qualified applicant for a job is turned down in favor of another, because that other person has the right skin color. That used to be called racial discrimination (a great injustice), but now the same act is rationalized as “social justice.”

It seems that whenever someone puts a qualifier in front of the word "justice" the definition of it changes to something more like the word "revenge".

I don't "define" terms that already have well known and universally accepted definitions.

Anyone who's confused or flummoxed can consult a dictionary.

Nome sane?

I can see why you used the "head slap" icon after your post because it was that ridiculous.

Not really, it's because of the assertion by the right that people in big cities aren't real Americans.

And just where are you getting this notion? There are many conservative Americans who live in the big cities also. I don't see where someone lives has anything to do with being a real American. A real American is anyone who was born or naturalized here.

What about a child born in the US with undocumented parents? Real American or not?

I define American as someone born here.
