re: #207 Iron Fist

For the duration of my life, at any rate, we have been told that trying to get them to become culturally American is Imperialism and is just about the greatest evil since leaving the toilet seat up after taking a piss. Me, I’m a believer in such “imperialism”. I don’t care where you come from, and am only interested in what you did there in extreme circumstances (I had a teacher in High School whose father had been an SS Oficer. I wouldn’t have welcomed him to the United States), as long as when you get here you blend with us. Cultural enclaves may be inevitable, but they should be the exception, rather than the rule, and they should work with, rather than against the general fabric of society.

ever been to China Town or Little Italy in NYC?…the city would not be the same without them…they are both invaluable to the richness of culture
