"SNIP......
Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show in 2018:
How, precisely, is diversity our strength? Since youve made this our new national motto, please be specific as you explain it. Can you think, for example, of other institutions such as, I dont know, marriage or military units in which the less people have in common, the more cohesive they are?
Do you get along better with your neighbors, your co-workers if you cant understand each other or share no common values? Please be honest as you answer this question.
The Buffalo gunman in a 180-page manifesto explaining his motivations behind last weekends mass shooting:
Why is diversity said to be our greatest strength? Does anyone even ask why? It is spoken like a mantra and repeated ad infinitum diversity is our greatest strength, diversity is our greatest strength, diversity is our greatest strength
Said throughout the media, spoken by politicians, educators and celebrities. But no one ever seems to give a reason why.

(5,764 posts)As a screenwriter, do you know how many times I heard that discussing the problems I have teaching students that idolize, talk, act, and dress like people in music videos with people who makes these videos?
"I gave it up because he slung cocaine." So my boys things pushing leads to money, importance, and hot girls.
"I'm just an entertainer. I have no influence on how people choose to live their lives." I guess if you lie about that to yourself enough times, you'll believe your lie of self-deception.
Tucker is the same way. . .by the way, who is the "They" in "that's what they're telling you."

(17,027 posts)But getting out of your gene pool is healthy for your species.
Some things immigrants, people of color, and women did that made America stronger because of opening the borders to immigrants, migrants and refugees, but the disgusting piece of dirt will never acknowledge:
Immigrants have given the United States some of the best inventions: the telephone, Google, blue jeans, video games and basketball, to name a few.
Dr. Richard Drew pioneered lifesaving blood donation and banking practices we use today, although the media face probably prefers sucking blood out of unwilling victims
Dr. Severo Ochoa discovered an enzyme that unraveled the secrets of the human genetic code, but I imagine the blood-sucking media face isn't interested in our species' genetics
Mother Jones labor organizing, Hedy Lamarr technology that led to Bluetooth and WiFi, Grace Jones, singing, acting, gender-bending and racial barrier breaking, and Salma Hayek, who shed a searchlight on sexual harassment in the workplace, among her other accomplishments. These women were all immigrants that pushed boundaries and made America better and stronger, and make the blood-sucking media face look even more pathetic and puny than he does every time he blathers.
Some things I have trouble doing:
Naming a single food that is American
Naming a single item that represent our culture or heritage that is not lifted from some other heritage or culture.

(17,027 posts)Marietta, Oh is a river town, so lots of coming and going, plus had international production plants located here, which brought people from all over the country and the world, who stayed and had their families here. Modern day immigration and migration. Shutting the door on immigration will be an American tragedy. Trying to bury their heads in the sand and pretend people of color don't exist is just making the problems we have all the worse.

Corn, tomatoes, potatoes, turkey, cranberries, maple syrup.
Those foods have blended into the mix, of course. But they are American originals.
