Slavery is an abomination. I recognize America not so much as an anti-traditional country as it is a country with multiple traditions that can get along so long as they avoid forcing their ways upon others. Korean-Americans are not going to become Jews, and Jews are not going to become Korean-Americans even if they have a few things in common.This is a lie. You've been a partisan blue hack the entire time we've been posting together. Partisan hacks like you and the others are as tribal as they come these days. There's plenty of proof of it all over this place. You can read right. You still have a high enough IQ to be able to comprehend, read in between the lines, put two and two together and reach/form conclusions right. So, why are you smart enough to know forcing your way on Americans isn't going to end well but dumb enough to continue supporting the Democrats who are doing it right now? What's your excuse or f-n problem dude?
Why am I not tribal? Roughly one half of my ancestry is German, and as such I have a love-hate relationship with Germany. Fortunately the one part of Germany that I thoroughly hate, Nazism, is dead. German-American cuisine is awful (meat loaf, potato salad, hamburgers, frankfurters) for insipidness or for poor consequences to personal health (alcoholic beverages, high-fat sausages, and sugary desserts). I see other traditions as just as valid as what I have.
