I am 99% white 1% black, my wife is Mexican with 20% Native American blood, my stepson is 50% Indian sub continent, my granddaughter is 50% Cuban American. My daughter in law is 100% Mexican. My other daughter in law is 25% Japanese, I guess that means my family is not a melting pot but racist?
My 25% Japanese daughter in law’s grandfather was an officer during WWII. His parents were in an interment camp during WWII in California while he defended our nation. He was an engineer with a degree from Texas A&M.
We need to get over this Bull S—t and realize we are Americans!
ps
We all work and have never taken welfare.
I've always wondered how that works...
I am one-sixteenth Polish, one-sixteenth Ruthenian (Ukrainian), one-sixteenth Hungarian, one-sixteenth Rumanian, one quarter German, one-quarter Danish, and one-quarter Norwegian. But how can a person be 1% anything?

Dinesh D’Souza explained this “American” phenomenon well in his excellent book “What’s So Great About America”.
As an American, black, white, brown, etc, you could never uproot your family and move to Japan and declare yourself “Japanese”. Or make Germany your home and tell everyone you are “German”. Or take up residence in India refer to yourself as “Indian”.
You could SAY it, but to Japanese, Germans, and Indians, it would make no sense to them. They would say “You live here and are a citizen, but...you aren’t, and can never be one of us.”
But anyone, ANYONE, can come to America, call themselves an American, and it is true, and everyone accepts it. It makes sense.
That is what makes (or used to make) America great, and why it is (or was) great to be an American.
People came here to be Americans and leave that other crap behind. Our country is full of stories of people who came from places like Italy or Germany, and once here, the parents forbade their children from speaking the native tongue in their new home. They might never learn English, but by God, their children were going to be full-fledged Americans!
They wouldn’t be Chinese-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Finnish-Americans, German-Americans, or African-Americans.
They would be Americans who were of some ancestry.
It is the cursed Left that has imbued this corrosive “separateness” and “diversity”. May they all rot in Hell.
