I read this article earlier today at Starbucks. It's a fucking scandal, but what else is new? Can't say I was surprised to read it. Just the familiar vague nausea.
So what I take from the thread is:
1. Americans are Americans therefore multiculturalism is un-American.
2. If you think multiculturalism is un-American then you don't need to comment on the disturbing overtones of hysterical xenophobia in the article.
3. People are really, really tired of reading...I mean, why read when you can type?
4. Post more than a couple of scroll wheels of text and people start calling you host.
