No kid, you're a racist because you seem to think that all anyone has to do to be accepted into American Exceptionalism is subdue their cultural identity and "blend in".

That's not how this country has ever worked. And calling me "bigot" or "fascist" for calling you out on it doesn't help your case any. I even quoted you, so if you're going to meltdown on anyone, maybe look in the mirror and confront your own shit first.

This country is not all star-spangled awesome, nore should it ever be treated that way. We are a blend of ideas and cultures. Not wholly one, but from many, homogenized into something that works. But we should never forget what this country has done to the people in it.

So maybe start acting like a member of that instead of forcing others to fit as a member of your narrative.

You know you're right. Thank you for this conversation, and I'll keep on growing as a person. American heritage and idealism are not black or white, and I'll keep this in mind for future reference.
