Good read IMHO.
Mass Immigration Eats Through The Melting Pot
By Sam Francis
With mass immigration shredding what Harvard scholar Samuel Huntington calls the "Anglo Protestant core" of American civilization, the Open Borders lobby remains delighted with the benefits the shredding brings.
Last week, just as news of Professor Huntington's magisterial article was about to break, historian Stanley Karnow warbled excitedly about the shredding in the Los Angeles Times.
Mr. Karnow lives in a posh Washington suburb at which those who worry that "immigration threatens to blemish the nation's 'purity'" are invited to look. It used to be what he calls a "dreary lily-white stretch of farms, stables and split level houses." Now, it's a "multicultural, multicolored, multilingual enclave" that is dreary—and white—no more.
[Keep Your Tired, Poor Stereotypes, February 24, 2004.]
"My neighbors," he beams, "include a German architect and his Iranian wife, a Palestinian contractor, a Korean scientist and a car salesman from Madagascar. An Indian physician converted her home into a miniature Taj Mahal, replete with bronze elephants on the lawn."
Racially diverse it may be, though probably not quite as diverse as Mr. Karnow would have us believe or as he seems to believe himself. My bet is that the backbone of the burb remains just as lily-hued as when he moved in.
But what Mr. Karnow likes about it is precisely the fabled "diversity" that mass immigration breeds—"The community center offers classes in tai chi chuan, karate and yoga. Books, periodicals and videos, tapes and DVDs in Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Russian, Tagalog and Vietnamese are available at the public library. At the elementary school, a teacher from Beijing is 'immersing' kindergartners in the rudiments of Mandarin."
What he salutes as "diversity" is in fact little more than cultural incoherence—the disappearance of that "core" Professor Huntington talks about from which a common civilization is able to grow.
The old idea of immigration was that immigrants would "melt" into a new but common pot, and as Mr. Karnow writes—quite correctly—the metaphor no longer applies.
"The 'melting pot' concept," he writes, "glorified as the paradigm, turned out to be an illusion, primarily because people sought to preserve their distinct identities. We are closer to the notion of 'cultural pluralism' broached in 1925 by the Jewish philosopher Horace Kallen. Dismayed by the thought of dissolving his pedigree in an Anglocentric caldron, he suggested a 'loose federation of nationalities … cooperating voluntarily through a multiplicity of autonomous institutions.' Die-hard conformists vehemently decried his proposal as a gambit for championing 'hyphenated' Americanism. But he was remarkably prescient."
Well, Kallen was "remarkably prescient" in part because the mass immigration that began arriving forty years later, after the 1965 Immigration Act, did indeed decline to melt.
Instead, it ate through the pot itself, which is what Mr. Karnow is so happy about.
It's nice he acknowledges this, since the usual argument—heard nowadays mainly from conservatives—is that the immigrants are assimilating.
Mr. Karnow knows better and likes it that way.
It's also interesting he acknowledges the Jewish connection, since it's becoming increasingly obvious. Mr. Karnow, as he makes sure to tell us at the end of his column, is Jewish himself, and so, he also made sure to tell us, was Kallen. And one reason they like immigration so much is precisely because of what it does to the "Anglo Protestant core" of American civilization.
A couple of years ago, the Forward, the principal Jewish newspaper in the country, reported a remark made by Leonard Glickman, president and CEO of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, in explaining why his organization was promoting the resettlement of Somali refugees in the United States: "The more diverse American society is the safer [Jews] are." Mr. Glickman is not alone.
Perhaps for much the same reason, Jewish neoconservatives like John Podhoretz, David Brooks and several others don't much like the very concept of an "Anglo Protestant core."
Unlike most conservatives, almost all of them rushed to endorse President Bush's amnesty proposals as soon as he announced them, and some like Mr. Brooks have rushed to denounce the Huntington article.
Jewish Americans played a crucial role in pushing for mass immigration throughout the last century, and there's no more reason that should be a secret than there is that Roman Catholics have pushed hard for banning abortion.
Unfortunately, there is a secret about it—because people who mention it tend to get smashed as "anti-Semites."
But these days real anti-Semitism doesn't come from those who talk about the Jewish role in promoting liberal immigration policies. It comes from Arabs and other Third World immigrants whom those very policies have welcomed.
When they start bringing it to Mr. Karnow's "multicultural, multicolored, multilingual" neighborhood, we'll see if he still prefers those who have made it that way to the dreary lily-white people who used to live there.

Mexico accounted for about 9.2 million immigrants, or 30 percent of the total foreign-born population in the U.S., according to the Census Bureau's 2000 report, making it the leading country of birth. Next were China and the Philippines, with 1.5 million and 1.4 million respectively. They are followed by India, Vietnam, Cuba, South Korea, Canada, El Salvador and Germany.
"The bottom line is, as a country we have to come to grips with the presence of 8 to 12 million illegals, afford them some kind of legal status some way, but also as a country decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it," Ridge said.
"Mass immigration has nothing whatsoever to do with the economic and social well-being of the United States or the American people," Stein said. "Immigration is entirely about the interests of the immigrants themselves, special interest ethnic groups, and business interests that want unlimited numbers of low-wage workers."

So we can all see how this idiot "the moron" distorts every aspect of reality, i will post some quotes from Huntington.
"The persistent inflow of Hispanic immigrants threatens to divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages. Unlike past immigrant groups, Mexicans and other Latinos have not assimilated into mainstream U.S. culture, forming instead their own political and linguistic enclaves—from Los Angeles to Miami—and rejecting the Anglo-Protestant values that built the American dream. The United States ignores this challenge at its peril."
"At times, scholars have suggested that the Southwest could become the United States’ Quebec. Both regions include Catholic people and were conquered by Anglo-Protestant peoples, but otherwise they have little in common. Quebec is 3,000 miles from France, and each year several hundred thousand Frenchmen do not attempt to enter Quebec legally or illegally. History shows that serious potential for conflict exists when people in one country begin referring to territory in a neighboring country in proprietary terms and to assert special rights and claims to that territory."
"Anecdotal evidence of such challenges abounds. In 1994, Mexican Americans vigorously demonstrated against California’s Proposition 187—which limited welfare benefits to children of illegal immigrants—by marching through the streets of Los Angeles waving scores of Mexican flags and carrying U.S. flags upside down. In 1998, at a Mexico-United States soccer match in Los Angeles, Mexican Americans booed the U.S. national anthem and assaulted U.S. players. Such dramatic rejections of the United States and assertions of Mexican identity are not limited to an extremist minority in the Mexican-American community. Many Mexican immigrants and their offspring simply do not appear to identify primarily with the United States."
"Empirical evidence confirms such appearances. A 1992 study of children of immigrants in Southern California and South Florida posed the following question: “How do you identify, that is, what do you call yourself?” None of the children born in Mexico answered “American,” compared with 1.9 percent to 9.3 percent of those born elsewhere in Latin America or the Caribbean. The largest percentage of Mexican-born children (41.2 percent) identified themselves as “Hispanic,” and the second largest (36.2 percent) chose “Mexican.” Among Mexican-American children born in the United States, less than 4 percent responded “American,” compared to 28.5 percent to 50 percent of those born in the United States with parents from elsewhere in Latin America. Whether born in Mexico or in the United States, Mexican children overwhelmingly did not choose “American” as their primary identification."
"Demographically, socially, and culturally, the reconquista (re-conquest) of the Southwest United States by Mexican immigrants is well underway. A meaningful move to reunite these territories with Mexico seems unlikely, but Prof. Charles Truxillo of the University of New Mexico predicts that by 2080 the southwestern states of the United States and the northern states of Mexico will form La República del Norte (The Republic of the North). Various writers have referred to the southwestern United States plus northern Mexico as “MexAmerica” or “Amexica” or “Mexifornia.” “We are all Mexicans in this valley,” a former county commissioner of El Paso, Texas, declared in 2001.

<<Like the fact that if he believes in rugged self reliance or the superiority of the "white race" he ought to go out and prove it?>>
People keep responding to his argument fallaciously. He is not saying HE HIMSELF is better then everyone because he is white. He's arguing as a SOCIETY that certain races are better then others.
If you want proof, take a look at how the world is now and who, as nations and as races, are successful. Whether you come to the same conclussion as him as to who is the most successful is the question.

I thought you said somewhere else you didn't beleive any race was "superior" to another, Hulkein? You said you just believed there "might be genetic differences" if the stuff that Estrogen was posting was true. (which most of it was outdated stuff, anyway)
Oh, just cause it needs mentioning, while yes some slave owners did rape the female slaves, it wasn't the ONLY time intercourse between the two occured, during rape. SOME PEOPLE really need to start going elsewhere for their info other than gathering misinformation from neo-Nazi, White supremcy propaganda. If you do any reading, or hell even watch the HISTORY CHANNEL, you'd know that Thomas Jefferson was in fact IN LOVE with one of his slaves. This woman was his mistress, he LOVED her. It wasn't a matter of rape or anything like that.
Hulkein
04-30-2004, 10:04 PM
Where in any of my posts have I said a certain race is more superior?
And no, I never even said that anyway. I said that I do believe certain races are more superior in certain areas because they are, it doesn't take much perception to realize this.
What I said was that I don't however believe that one race being better at X and another race being better at Y makes the first race better.. I also said that I don't ever judge an individual because he is a certain race because that would be a fallacy in itself also.

The way the bolded section in the second paragraph is written, can lead people to believe that you are saying you agree with that sentiment. That certain races are superior.
Hulkein
04-30-2004, 10:12 PM
Well let me clarify first.
I do believe that certain races are superior in certain areas. For instance, blacks are more athletic.
Now, on to what I wrote. I wasn't putting in a personal opinion at all, I was explaining to Warriorbird that Testosterone has nothing to prove because this argument isn't about the individual, it is about societies as a whole. If he wishes to find proof, take a look at the world and draw your own conclussions. There is no stat or trend that everyone will agree on as 'superior.'

Just as a wild guess? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say he believes that he is superior to anyone who's black, Jewish, arabic, etc. I'm just getting that vibe from him for some strange reason.
If Testie would like to say otherwise, and profess being equal to and with, the non-white minorities, I will of course retract my statement.

You very well may be right with that assumption, however that isn't what is being argued here and that is my reason for pointing out that saying otherwise isn't debating the issue at hand.
TheEschaton
04-30-2004, 10:33 PM
To argue Testy's points, then: He says its genetic, that genetic code argues a race's superiority in certain areas. That black people are genetically better to be athletes.
I say it is a product of environment. Coming from one common ancestor, the only reason we have evolved at all is that we migrated to different environments, which have shaped what we do. In a Northern European context, where half the year must be spent idle, different types of cultures arise.
Can this affect genes? Sure. In Northern Europe, people who were lighter skinned would be better adapted to the cold, and there would be positive selection for lighter skin. But specific skills, such as intelligence/athleticism cannot be grouped by very specific mutations such as those. Both draw on so many genes, which are all virtually identical amongst the "races".
Edited to add: And can this affect the society at large, in general? Sure? The first day of AP European History, our teacher said that European history was all about war. Why, he asked. Because they were all so close together, they constantly came in contact with each other.
Why did England conquer the world? Because it had an inferiority complex from being so small. It also had a need for a strong Navy, because otherwise they were restricted to an island.
I think I'm gonna go play Civ II now. Heh.

IQ measures only your ability to take tests. It doesn't measure intelligence. I -suck- at test-taking, especially in a high-pressure timed environment.
However according to my Achievements in High School, which gave us two hours to write an essay on an assigned topic, I placed in the 1-percentile in the entire state.
I also got straight A's in every English Literature and Writing class I've taken since 4th grade all the way up through college. Prior to that, it was discovered that I was a speed-reader and I had difficulty reading out loud (which was the required method for reading classes) because my mouth would trip over the words and I'd stutter. They first thought I was reading disabled or had trouble with reading comprehension. Then they took tests that allowed me to read silently and explain what I had read, and found that I was actually reading at a high-school level, in 3rd grade.
IQ tests are nothing. They measure absolutely nothing about a person's intelligence. They measure -only- your ability to take timed tests.

IQ tests are the premier test of intelligence. Another excuse. "I don't take tests well, therefore they're invalid measures of intelligence." Keep the excuses rolling.
IQ tests show western africans score about 30 IQ points less than caucasians. IQ tests are the premier test of intelligence, but intelligence does not always equal sucess. Although, in most cases it does. Any blatant moron can figure this out.
