Speak English only they say. America is a melting pot; think American, be American.
If you assimilate you will fit in and be treated equally! But when you assimilate, all that you gain is the loss of your cultural roots and your ethnic identity. Because, there is always someone around the corner to remind you that you are nothing more than a hyphenated American; not a “real American”.
And lest you forget what you are, there is always a politician willing to segregate you into a particular voting faction. Hispanic voters. Black voters. Asian voters. Imagine that, the concept of segregation being used in what is usually proclaimed as one of the the most fundamental American rights.
Just like the never-ending West Texas wind, racism will always be around.
