Thread: Diversify This!

Here is a Column I found on aother site:

Diversify This!
by H. Millard © 2000
So you came to this country, this America, from some other country. You say that you came because you were fleeing repression or that you wanted a better life for your family in these United States, or maybe that you wanted to make more money here than you could ever make in your former country. Okay. That sounds reasonable.

So why in the hell are you demanding that we show sensitivity toward your former country's culture and language? If you want to honor those things, then go back there. Don't come here and try to make here the same as the place you left or you'll find that the problems you fled there are being made anew here.

Don't be fooled by some neurotic idiots who treat you like stray cats to be mothered and nurtured and cooed over, and who will tell you how much they love your culture. These cat ladies, sans cats, exist in every country, and their phony neurosis based do-goodism is only going to hurt you, because they don't treat you as fully formed adults but as helpless little children no matter what age you are. The price of their fawning is that you have to try to be small and look up at them with big helpless doe eyes and in effect worship them as your great saviors. It is eternal childhood and helplessness that is demanded of you. Don't fall for it.

To hell with your old country. You left there for a hoped for better here. If you want to take advantage of whatever it is you believe is available to you in these United States that is better than where you came from, then YOU better show sensitivity toward our culture and you'd better damn well try to understand and conform to our ways.

Don't come here and tell us that we should teach you in OUR schools in your old language. If you want that, go back where you came from and don't let the friggin' door hit you on the way out. Beat it. Amscray. Head out. Who the hell needs you? We didn't ask you to come here.

Don't come here and call us names because you feel we're not being sensitive to your diversity. Screw your diversity. Either come here to be like us---because, remember, you came here to our country, we didn't go to your screwed up former country--and it is not us who should change to make you feel comfortable. You are the one who must change and be sensitive to us.

You're the guest. Not us. Live by our rules and our lights or beat it. And if you snuck into this country illegally, then you'd better get your ass back out of here and apply through legal means. And, if you can't get in through legal means, then that's just the way it'll have to be. You don't have a right to be in this country unless WE say you can be here. Period.

You say that we're being so insensitive. Tough nookies. You'd better change to get in step with us, or you ought to head for the exit.

This is OUR country. We may not be the first people who came here, but those we've replaced weren't the first either. Being first doesn't matter. What does matter is that we found a mostly empty country and we built it in our image. We will decide how it's run.

We'll decide who can join us as citizens. We speak English here. We do things in certain ways here. That's our choice and it's not your right to come here to tell us that we have to be more like you. We don't want to be like you and we don't want our country to be like your old country. If we did, we would have gone to your old country to live as you've come here. We didn't do that.

Get yourself Americanized as quickly as possible or get yourself gone. We don't owe you a damn thing. You owe us.

Excellent Article. It is so on point that there is really nothing more to say.

Yes excellent article, too bad that they will never read it because they can't read Spanish let alone English.

Maybe some lackey from LaRaza will read it to them.

There is no way anyone from La Raza will read it to them because it does not carry their message. You know, the one that says Americans must become one of "The Race" and learn to be one of "Them" to survive.

However, someone needs to read it to La Raza and tell them this is the way it is here. Like it or leave it.

There used to be a bumper sticker for locals at Wrightsville Beach that said "You've seen Wrightsville Beach -- now go home"!

Maybe we need bumper stickers that say "ILLEGAL ALIEN -- GO HOME!" I'd buy one! Or 2. Maybe several for friends and associates.

Or provide American funded translators.

Another thought out there on illegal aliens from France..

France rejects migrant amnesty
By Jon Henley
The Guardian (UK), May 12, 2005

The French interior minister, Dominique de Villepin, yesterday unveiled a package of tough new anti-immigration measures and warned that mass amnesties for migrants who had entered the country illegally were 'completely out of the question'.

Unlike the Spanish government, which this week issued residency and work permits to some 700,000 illegal workers, Mr de Villepin said Paris considered that previous mass amnesties, in 1981 and 1997, had encouraged further waves of illegal immigration.

'It is essential that we be extremely strict and firm,' he said. Putting the number of illegal immigrants in France at 'between 200,000 and 400,000', he said the phenomenon had become 'a growing source of concern because of the mafia-like activities that feed these criminal networks.'

It was currently 'far, far too easy' for an immigrant to enter on a tourist visa, then stay on illegally, and, if caught, claim to have no papers and to be unaware of his nationality - preventing any expulsion.

Critics said the measures ignored the complexity of the global migration problem and would solve nothing. 'It will push people to ever more extreme protests, like mass hunger strikes,' said Pierre Henry of the immigrant rights body France Terre d'Asile.

Mr de Villepin's plan, which builds on draconian measures introduced two years ago by his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, will change the civil code to ensure that marriages between foreigners and French citizens conducted abroad will not necessarily be recognised in France. 'A prosecutor will check carefully that the union is genuine,' the minister said. He also aims to introduce 'biometric' visas that record the holder's fingerprint, making it far more difficult for anyone else to use the visa.

He announced the formation of an independent 'immigration police', and an immigration control service to coordinate the immigration activities of the police, gendarmerie, local authorities and various government departments.


Yoooooho.... Mr. Buuuush.

Bump,

I did not see this post, and reposted the article. Since I think it needs top row for a while, I will kick this one up (and kill my post).

H.

My feeling from watching Spanish television is that the people running La Raza, MALDEF, CARECEN and some of these other groups like NAACP are the truely racist organizations in America in 2005. My feeling is that the leadership of the Democratic Party is in cohoots with these groups which is just another reason why I vote Republican. How can you bring people of race together when you have to have like a "Hispanic Chmaber of Commerce, a Black Chmaber of commerce etc? It isn't about diversity but groups trying to get $. However, BUSH is a failure on immigration!

Bye Bye Chicos Thanks
