This level of diversity and ratios is unmatched in scope, cultures, and desire to be visible to any European or Asian nation. In most other nations, there is a dominant ethnic group and a very few others comprising a minority which does not skewer the statistics. The U.S. does not have a majority ethnic group - “Caucasian” is comprised of many ethic groups which happen to share a pigmentation - so the factoring of all genetic, cultural and societal factors of all of the ethnic groups comprising “Americans“ against what is often a mono-ethnic society is statistical gamesmanship."
That is who America is, and always has been, like it or not. And I am joined by the majority that is not going to stand for reducing our great melting pot to a homogenious state.
Our diversity makes us strong. We will no longer have to stand for reducing our country to a place where only wealthy white people get an education, health care, jobs, housing etc. Welcome back hope and opportunity for all Americans!

What a lot of intellectual crap! I don't believe for one instant that America is benefited by the fracturing of our country into separate, but equal ethnic groups. That is exactly what what is weakening us in modern times.
No longer do emigrants come to this country to be "American". They now come and demand rights and privileges specific to their separate nationalities. Spanish is demanded in our schools, consumer labeling, television access. Head scarves are demanded to be allowed in our courtrooms and interpreters at the governments expense. Free health care and driver licenses for "ILLEGALS" entering our country.
"Homogeneous" does not mean that we are devoid of our cultures, but that we willingly adopt America, it's culture and language, and not come here and demand that we change to make it "Our/America". There is too much (your nationality here)/American and too little I AM AN AMERICAN AND I ACCCEPT ALL THAT MAKES AMERICA WHAT IT IS.
This is NOT a country where only rich white people get an education, health care jobs, housing etc. We are a nation where one can achieve the highest goals that our intellect, abilities and hard work allow. No one holds Americans back but themselves. I am sick of hearing that this culture or that race can't get an even break in America. Many of the people that are successful in our country came here without knowing the language and penniless. Why is it that multi-generational Americans cannot be as successful? We have the "freedom to choose" our destinies and if we don't apply ourselves then only we are to blame.
