I'm asking for specific criteria. Are people in "Little Italy" assimilated? What about "China Town?" How do you account for regional cultural differences i.e. the insufferable people of Boston vs. Mormons in Salt Lake City? What are the characteristics that make someone, "American?" I'm of the opinion that as long as you believe in the Constitution and think America is the best, you're assimilated.




No. They're NOT assimilated, really. They're building tiny colonies in the US.

I wonder how the UK would feel if I went there and started a Little America in downtown London?
Or France, or Germany... etc.

yes that is assimilation. You effectively are under the spell. You believed the lie, drank the cool aid and will now see endless boosters as some kind of ancient chinese acupuncture.

I don't think they'd care at all. In Germany, they have "Little Istanbuls" and in the UK they have "Little Bombays." Hell, there is a Little America in England right now. What makes you think that they would care?

Well, let's just deal with England at the moment.

Little America is just a term for the housing around two American airbases. Big difference from say a China town in the US.
And those airbases are out in the middle of nowhere, and are there, probably since WWII to watch over the English channel... FOR the UK.

Almost every night I come on here and see you've quoted me about something, and I think, well maybe tonight, he's not just trolling.
Looks like I was wrong again.

Every major city in the US has a china town. If these people want a china town... China has plenty of them.

But if you don't think I should have a problem with these china towns... we can just ship them all to Australia. :)

We have one, i go there all the time, great food and atmosphere, why does it bother you so much is the real issue here.
Maybe try some self introspection, why are you afraid of people with differing cultures?

Because they play for a diff team.
There is such thing as home field advantage.
You don't let a rival team move into your stadium and take over.

Skin colour is not a team, and race is not a team, plenty of people do not care about race and the majority of chinese americans are glad not to be living in china.

lol at you thinking race is only about skin color.
And sure it's a team.
If it wasn't the great wall of China wouldn't exist.
They should have just welcomed the Mongol hoards in...
How foolish you are. :drool:
