[QUOTE="SummerMadness, post: 75885450, member: 142216"] The US Constitution is not absolute, it was never intended to be. That's why there is a Bill of Rights and the ability to change the document through ratification of amendments. That's just basic US history. What's with not answering the question? What are you referring that people are (or not) assimilating to? [LIST] [/LIST] White supremacy != ethnic culture. In fact, there is no such thing as white culture because "white" is not an ethnicity. If you're equating white with European, then it would be incorrect to classify it as such because there are almost 100 ethnicities in Europe alone. Celebrating those ethnic groups and their cultural traditions is not racist at all. White, on the other hand, is a social definition to describe people, and is only roughly based on skin color. I say roughly because who is considered white has changed repeatedly throughout history to the point that calling white an ethnic group or culture seems laughable. Ignoring European ethnic groups, the only use of white in the United States has been to promote racist policies, so if there was a claim of white culture, I don't see how you can divorce it from white supremacy. This is in stark contrast to say looking at someone's British or French heritage, which is not defined by whiteness. No, it is defined by language, food, cultural traditions, ethnic groups, etc. No one should denigrate those things, but white supremacy was created expressly to do that. What makes the United States a great country is celebrating the cultural traditions of people from Europe, but also celebrating the traditions of people from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. [/QUOTE]
