Why do you guys always assume someone is trying to "remain separate". No one complained when there was a little Italy in every major city. No one complains when Russians or Poles had a separate district in cities. If anything, they were less quick to assimilate than immigrants are today! Come on now.
Part of the problem is the concentration of ethnic groups into their own communities. The Germans, Irish, Scandinavians, etc. assimilated because they dispersed across the country and intermarried with Americans. Italians stayed on the East Coast and lived in the same communities. You have this situation all over the American Southwest today, and also in places like Edison, NJ.
To think we agree so much ideologically except on my core issue, guy! Terrible, terrible PoV. You realize Trump is going to make it so we don't have to assimilate. We are going to become Italian once again and these Americans who continue to make our blood impure will not stand in the way. Heil Trump! We love him. He will make every tradition strong once again!
