Those who want to integrate will over time, and those who focus entirely on their differences won't. Asians are a prime example, they integrated, and now completely dominate, the American educational system. In many ways superior now in IQ to the average white, yet nobody neither hears them complain or blame others for various human created issues created by modern society as a whole. And never do we hear them brag about their superior intelligence...the simply live and let live the best they know can.

Being purposely different is fine, but at some point forcing the issue and attaching it to every problem one encounters becomes self destructive, self defeating, and completely retro-active to solving the real issues that exist, but are not often times politically correct enough for thought provoking and logical discusions...

Placing any word before the word "American" never made much sense to me. Just imagine the poor kids today with German, Irish, Asian, Black, Latino mixed ethnic backgrounds. Do they simply not belong to any "specific list"...or instead wouldn't the best term for all americans be simply "American"?

Now would this be the axis of evil fetal cord sort of blood, or the more religiously acceptable good n mature blood sort of blood? If it is cord blood, well then I'm completely offended...
