I find it amusing that there are so many here that seem to greatly detest my nation, and folks like myself. I suppose there is a stereotype of white Americans as being brutish morons and the like, but I assure you that not all of us are found to be such obnoxious lunkheads as you would think. I suppose it doesn't matter much in the long run, since you likely won't rethink your opinions based upon what I might say, although I hope with time you will come to amend your temperment towards us Americans in the light of the greater good for all our people.
The concept of merging ethnic types in Europe has be brought up in this discussion and I would only offer this point: That the original intentions of those who created this nation I live in was to bring Europeans (initially Anglo and Germanic types) together as a nation without the predetermined animosities found among Europeans at the time. Thus, many Americans have lineages from several European nations, and in truth this is what has made this nation the great and powerful land it has become.
My own European roots (English/Irish/Scottish & very little other types) quite likely would never had merged had they remained in Europe. Yet, were I to settle in any of these three nations, I would expect that my assimilation would take very little time, and within a generation my children would be as if the had no roots here in America.
Were I to move to any other European country, the chances of my assimilation would be dramatically different, and I doubt I'd be readily accepted by the native population (which is a shame since I have always found the eastern coast of Italy to be beautiful) even after several years of coexistence.
That is the essential reality of it.
