I just came across this intriguing article:

"At first, immigration is coming almost exclusively from Europe.

Immigration to the US has been limited by many factors, including laws such as the the Immigration Act of 1924 that completely excluded immigrants from Asia and severely limited the number of immigrants of other nationalities.

Immigration eventually peaks between 1990-2000 after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Asian and Mexican immigration is also particularly strong around this time."

((What I find interesting tho, is that neither political party touch the topic of asian immigrants. Their controversies only involve South American immigrants.))

"People in the country’s heartland and southern states are more likely to identify as having American ancestry, while folks along the coasts and northern states tend to see themselves as having ancestry from other parts of the world."

ok...what's the point? Are you just saying this is a "cool article" and that's it or were you asking a question about something somewhere?

I don't need to make a point. The article made a few, quite clearly:

Nothing stays the same. The world is changing, mentalities and preferences keep changing.
And so does the US.

For example, there's no longer discrimination against non-European immigrants,
as the 1924 Immigration Act (" that completely excluded immigrants from Asia and severely limited the number of immigrants of other nationalities")
clearly did.

I was simply wondering about your purpose since you mentioned "people in America's heartland are most likely to identify..." and "neither political party...," especially since many posters place an article here hoping to start (what I assume is to be) a civil discussion.

So if you meant everything's changing, it perfectly reminds me of a really good movie of a 90-year old man that goes to live with his son and he has to adapt to that new life--with some facepalm moments and some really funny ones ("Un padre no tan padre").

Well, if you're wondering about my thought process, I'll give you a bit of background about myself:

I'm an immigrant myself.
And I don't identify as "australian" either. More likely, I identify as an immigrant who has the fortune to be allowed to live there.


And since you want us to fight, and you'll eventually resort to the same old same old "you're a racist" thingy: I'm taking my gloves off, buddy.

Unlike some first or second generation americans, or US immigrants, I don't winge and whine about the country that fed me.
Yes, I encountered a few instances of xenophobia as well. But overall, I was well treated by the locals and the law gave me the same rights as the rest.

I imagine your "and since you want us to fight" was tongue in cheek since I never used that word nor implied it. I never said anything about being "racist" either. If other posters have called you that, I apologize for such an unwarranted experience!

Check out that movie if you're so inclined--it's at Redbox if foreign films are a taste of yours and it fits with your statement of "everything changes.

Bored, eh? Bumping all your old threads, eh? Just one of those days, eh?

I was going to add to this thread. I'd say that Grandma always said Dad was so weird, she thought was from Mars -- thus I identify as Martian-American. But since you're only bumping stuff, just forget that. Have a nice day. (That's 'nice' in Sidney Greenstreet mode.)

Was probably Que trying to drum up some more board drama, but I could be wrong. I just think it's a long shot that hsnh = hznh, assuming Que isn't hashtag.
