[quote=weberlin]You have a point: I probably shouldn’t let this get to me so much.
As an immigrant, I am well aware of the desire to be proud of one’s cultural origins. The big deal is the notion that someone places that pride above their national loyalties. Celebrate your culture all you want, just don’t lose sight of the fact that you are privileged to do so because you are in the USAwesome.
LOL. USAwesome…I sound like such a Teabagger.[/quote]
Hey, you’re only human. You simply reacted the way the news media want us to react. Then we tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on, and so on – wait, now I sound like an old Herbal Essence shampoo commercial. But all those people then rush to Google the story, and the news media are once again triumphant!
I just wish they’d get back to reporting news.
You should check out George Carlin’s final HBO special. He has some interesting things to say about ethnic pride. In the meantime, if your weather is as nice as ours is here, take a nice long walk and relax.
