People who are born here don't have anything to do with the culture of their predecessors.

Woah.
That statement was...so false. Your culture is the blood that runs through you..it's what defines who you are.
Im sorry...I live in Canada where I believe most of us view ourselves as sort of a cultural 'mosaic'(sp?), which is to say, we can all live together, but at the same time we can each explore our own individuality and culture. If everyone just .."melted together", then individuality would be lost and EVENTUALLY, everything would be the same. What's the fun in that? Don't you enjoy going down to your local china town, or italian village, or whatever, and seeing how different cultures act, what they eat, what they wear?
50 years ago, "african americans" were viewed as inferior, and prejudiced by many people because of their colour. They were viewed as totally different people, even though they were born in America just as their neighbors were. Now you want everyone to blend in and become one race????
Aye...sometimes you americans confuse me
