IMMIGRATE ASSIMILATE

This is in response to Holly’s entry of Tuesday, Feb 5. There was an excellent article on the Opinion page of last Sunday’s P.I./Times, Feb 3, 2008. If you don’t have Sunday’s paper, you can get it on the web by googling Immigrate Assimilate, Amy Chua or using the following URL.

She asks, “What happens when ethnic pride erodes national identity? Yugoslavia found out, Iraq’s finding out. Are we - The United States - heading that way?” I had never looked at it in that light, but it really made me stop and think about it.
