"We are all Americans ... let’s not lose sight of that. I agree with most marketing strategies.... We are all Americans not a fragramented society. Learn the English language like the Asians and let’s not continue to fragment the country. True, Latinos are only 15%, Blacks, 12% what about Italians, Germans, French English, Asians, etc., they have assimilated! Remember assimilation is the KEY to the strength of the USA, not fragmentation ... one language, one economy, one country equals prosperity for every "American A concerned American."
Some proud American chose to post this under an article from MediaPost on how advertisers are royally failing to understand the economic power of the Hispanic market. While I admire this person's patriotism and virtuous outlook for our great nation-state, I couldn't disagree more emphatically with some of his/her points. As he/she iterates "American" so poignantly, it's as if he's suggesting that there's a TRUE American culture; and once in individual (or group) immigrates to the Land of the Free, they should put their native heritages way on the back burner, learn the English language and become TRUE American. There's much to be said about this comment, but I don't want to type an essay when I don't have to.......

I must agree with you wholeheartedly Sr. I not to long ago wrote an essay dispelling the idea of there even being something as a true "American" because everyone in this country besides the minuet percentage of Native Americans was an immigrant at some point in time. And the idea of there being a true "American" doesn't sit well with me at because it's a media driven idea that some people truly believe and stand by it as others would religion or political views, which inevitably puts up even more barriers and in extreme cases more reasons to form prejudices. The only thing I can associate with Americans in a whole is the fact that we are different. but yea I'm done lol sorry for the long comment just my insight haha... Peace, nice blog bro
Yeah, when I seen dude's comment I just laughed it off like, "Man what an ignoramus." Then I thought about it for a second longer and realized what it seemed like the guy was actually trying to say.
