If you replace the people, whose societal and cultural norms made a place worth fleeing to, when does it cease to be a place worth fleeing to? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The American system isn’t based on ethnic culture, it’s based on ideas that have been incorporated into law: capitalism, freedom of the individual, liberalism (in its broadest sense.) All ethnic cultures thrive in such a system. Thats what’s wrong with Coulter’s racism, and what’s also wrong with your question (though I’m not calling you a racist.)

The Real timschochet 3,213 Posted May 9 Also there’s no replacement going on. When we take in new people they mostly enrich what’s already here. But they don’t replace anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For instance, people from Islamic states are not raised to value capitalism, freedom of the individual, or liberalism in the broadest sense. Thats simply not true. Have you been to Istanbul? I just spent the summer there. I’ve never encountered a more capitalist society in my life. In this country, over the past 40 years, I’ve worked with dozens of Muslims from all sorts of countries: not only Turkey but Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar, and yes, Palestine. On the whole they are terrific business people and fine Americans. I certainly don’t agree with all aspects of their culture, but guess what? My forebears came from the Jewish ghettoes of Eastern Europe and THEIR culture was just as restrictive, just as socially intolerant, as many of the Muslims I know. Here is the secret: their children reject the old ways and become Americanized. This is true with every culture that has ever arrived on these shores.
