.....it usually is NOT the immigrant complaining about our culture. Overwhelmingly, they are grateful to be here and recognize the American Dream instantly. Heck, its why most of us are here today. Instead, it is almost always some group of "Americans" uncomfortable with America and her position in the world pushing THEIR beliefs of what we should be on the rest of us by chiding US for our supposed intolerance towards others. They go out of their way to convince these immigrants that we all need to bend over backwards to accomodate them (remember the California case where DMV got sued because they asked an Iraqi immigrant to remove her burka for her drivers license photo?). All the while, it is these same groups that are intolerant of America and Americans and American traditions. They scream "Freedom of Speech!!!!!!" until you say something they don't want to hear. These are the people I blame.
End of rant.
