So the melting pot makes everything white? I think not. Lamm was full of crap. We have dozens of nationalities and cultures in our country, all worth honoring and preserving, all belonging to Americans.
Deal with it.
Not white. AMERICAN. Big difference.
The bitter truth is that America was never a monoculture.
“No Irish need apply”, and all that jazz.
This country wouldn’t be in this position where it is now - effectively invaded by alien values - if more efforts were made to highlight and emphasise American values - essentially secular values that are universally identifiable and logically sensible - those of the Jeffersonian kind.
It’s a pity.
Read the entire speech so that you don’t look as stupid as you sound.
>>Deal with it.<<

That’s exactly the crux of the matter — it is an unnatural situation and cannot be dealt with. We are on a death ride just like Europe is.
Ever heard of balkanization? We are well beyond that point. The Balkans have less diversity than we have today and they got their problems as the Kososvo war showed.

Really? The race card :-)
What does white have to do with anything?
If what you’re saying is that only white people hold American values I suggest you look outside whatever little box you live in. The American Idea is color blind. You agree with/understand America the Idea or you don’t. Very simply, whatever color you are, if you don’t want to be an American first go home.
Kind of missed the point - they have loyalties outside of being Americans and dilute the sense of what it is to be American. many openly detest America even as they reap the benefits. They are like termites and we keep encouraging them to continue in this vein with statements like "deal with it".
Of course. But there has to be a prevailing culture which everyone becomes part of. When I was a child growing up in Danbury CT, there was a wonderful myriad of cultures and religions. It was practiced in churches, in social gatherings, at cultural/recreation events, in families and neighborhoods. We all enjoyed each other's special events, foods and even church sponsored activities. But when we were together away from those cultural events, everybody worked to live the American dream.
It was that combination...melting pot but respecting individual cultures that worked. If one wants to impose their values, they should stay in their homelands.
This article should be required reading. It's eerily on-target.
