Why should immigrants adapt to American culture /language/etc anyway? I thought America was supposed to be about freedom and liberty and all that.
As for the flag and Uncle Sam, I hardly see how those symbols would offend any newcomers, from my experiences immigrants often take pride in the nationalistic symbols of their new homeland.
I don't think the writer is a racist, just an angry, frightened person who can't cope with change and so clings to his traditions. It's perfectly normal, and its healthy for a democracy to have these sort of people speaking up. Their cause is probably doomed, so let them rant and rave if they want, it's their right.
