BigRedBuster Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I wonder if the Dutch from Pella Iowa think Mexicans should assimilate to American culture. Maybe they should cherish tulips too. 4 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I wonder if the Cajuns that still speak a type of French think Mexicans should assimilate more to American culture. How dare they all live in the same neighborhoods (trailer parks) in Louisiana. 4 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I wonder if the Amish who many use their own language and live in the same neighborhoods think Mexicans should assimilate more to American culture. 5 Link to comment

Country Music, rap music, gospel music? Hotdogs, pizza, fast food, or health food? Guns or no guns? christian, muslim, jew, or hindu? jeans or sweatpants, t-shirt or button downs? Or maybe, it's just the fact we all love living in a free society where we can be who we want to be without the fear of retribution? You didn't mention Mexican food. American culture definitely means great Mexican food to me. Link to comment

None of those cultures were catered to by changing manuals at work, driving tests etc to their language making assimilation less appealing/necessary. There is no reason to do that for hispanics either . Link to comment

Would driving through Pella Iowa with business signs in Dutch bother you just as much? 2 Link to comment
Big Red 40 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The first question has nothing to do with the discussion at hand so not getting into that one . Second question no I don’t care about Amish people one way or another . Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hold on a minute......Amish people speak Dutch? Link to comment

Just people from a foreign country that are so proud of that, that they have their own Dutch community, celebrations, signs in Dutch, discriminate against people who are t Dutch....etc. 5 hours ago, JJ Husker said: Hold on a minute......Amish people speak Dutch?
