It’s fan fiction to believe that in the past first generation immigrants had more of a desire to assimilate than today?
Yes.

The problem is people who rail against diversity act as if just because they are 'white' they are part of some homogeneous 'white' culture, of which Europe is not a singular 'white' culture. It's many diverse cultures with 'white' people in it.
Nah, you tried to make this about my race and I corrected you. The end. Move along.
I can agree with that but its an individual who has to start that process for future generations, something people did 100 years ago but are discouraged from doing today. This society is obsessed with being the victim and nurturing hatred between races and creeds.
Lmao those stupid as savages living in peace existence for thousands of years not realizing that one day people from the other side of the globe would show up and disease them to death.I'd go so far as to say that the reason the native Americans collapsed so quickly was because they did not have enough diversity...they were monolithic to a fault. Their immune systems failed and their technology failed. Had they had the opportunity to trade in ideas, technology, biology, and diversify their people they could have withstood conquest.
Moreover diversity is not some peaceful cumbaya...its messy and violent....and necessary.

haha, WTF, I agreed with you. Someone has to take the first step to leave the past behind, no? You're a weird person.This seems entirely opinion and based on nothing.
There is no way for you know that either way, so it's silly to assume.
It's just a feeling you have because you're consistently miserable and pumped full of propaganda.
I'll take it over whatever it is you're supposed to be.you're soft...and lack conviction.
The Aztec systemically hunted down nearby tribes so they could cut out their hearts lol so peaceful.living in peace existence for thousands of years
Once again, not all indigenous people were the same. If Columbus landed in Aztec country we’d have a different world.The Aztec systemically hunted down nearby tribes so they could cut out their hearts lol so peaceful.
The only reason the Spaniards even survived initially was because the natives hated the Aztec far more than they did the new guys.

Nah, you're wrong. They simply had to. There were no social programs, no welfare, no advocacy groups. When people came in through Ellis Island, they often americanized their names to fit in. They were settled in ghettos where an italian family lived with people from the Netherlands on one side and Irish on the other. They had no choice. Assimilation was actively encouraged and basically impossible to avoid.If you agreed with me, you would have just said you agreed with me and moved on. Instead you said a bunch of other bullshit which is what I commented on more directly.
You have no way of knowing whether or not first generation immigrants in the past where more or less willing to assimilate than today and pretty fucking silly for you suggest that you do.

Some people were perhaps discouraged from assimilating, the Irish in particular, but they did anyway. We all had common cause be it based on war time or economic depression etc.You had people who experienced genocide, not just people who want a new Obama phone.
Today, people are coming here for a handout. People aren't here to contribute. The government doesn't want them for anything but votes. There's no expectation of immigrants today. People like you find the idea of assimilation offensive.
I did agree with you that it doesn't happen overnight but its absurd to say people are encouraged to assimilate today. Look at the responses I've got at the suggestion of it.
About what I expected, honestly.This is entirely too dumb and feelings based for me to address in any detail.

*yawn*Like I said, it was all opinion and feeling, nothing factual, this is not something you can quanitify or measure in actual way that's at all useful.
Useless anecdotes you've cobbled together to justify your position is not actual data on this abstract you're trying to portray as some undeniable truth.
Not to mention the standard racist take that it's just about votes. lmao
*yawn*
"Bruh, stop being raciss!" Typical, low IQ response. You've done nothing to justify a thing you've said, so stop saying that about me. You're dumb and wrong and you know it. You conceded with that last line, don't quote me again, I won't bother reading it.
Thats not what I said. I said they are being exploited for votes. I'm unlikely to be talking about people who can't vote legally anyway, you fucking simpleton.It's clearly a racist take.
You are making multiple racist assumptions even if you're too old and simple to understand that.
You are assuming that all immigrants are going to vote a certain way based on their race. lmao
