I came here to the US when I was 2 with my family as refugees from the Vietnam war. I'm of Asian heritage, but I'm pretty much all-American culturally though I can speak my native tongue to a degree. I've visited Vietnam as an adult on vacation and I was struck by how different I am from people from the land of my birth. It's hard to explain, but they just think differently... Have different reactions to basic events... They're much more accepting of authority and governmental action than I am, raised in the southwest US.
That's interesting.
I guess I just feel like a lot of people who aren't of European descent don't really feel like the US is THEIR country. That disappoints me. I know that the country was founded by white folks but it belongs to us all today. We're all Americans and, in my opinion, should take pride in that.
