Elsewhere around the world, this is not a question. I'm in Australia, but from Southern European heritage, and I can tell you in my ancestral country, there is utterly no question at all of who "we" are. They consider me one of them, even though I was born in Australia. I'm thinking you are in the USA? Empires tend to think like this.

Though I know that isn't necessarily Ni> the reality today. Middle and South America was colonised by Iberians. Spanish and Portuguese. They had a very different approach to the British. The Spanish and Portoguese approach was "assimilation". Maybe this is a Catholic thing? But those colonists made it a point to assimilate with the native popultion, hence why these countries are very mixed. The British did not have this. Australia actually had a White Australia policy up until the 1960s. The British approach was to remain seperate. So the original Spanish colonists are largely gone in central America, whereas all the British colonies, remained British up until the "1960s" ideological poison set in. The difference then is that countries like Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Nicaragua, all those central American countries which people seem to be seeking to flee to go to the USA illegally, are "Blended". You may not have seen much focus on race, but I've heard differently, including from people who lived there. I think it is clear which approach is better. You can tell from where people are moving from, and where they want to move to. The British approach is clearly better. Australia though, up until it decided to become "multicultural" was still distinctly Anglo-Saxon, and maintained its original colonial identity. As for MLK, he was a product of his time. This post WWII ideal is in my view, dead, and should be buried. I still cannot believe people are pushing for this social message. I put it down to people who just haven't realised the world has changed, and still think its the late 20th century. Ask the Whites in South Africa how things are going. Ask Australias how the mass immigration is working out. Or the English. .... BoraxMan --- MultiMail/DOS v0.52 þ Synchronet þ MS & RD BBs - bbs.mozysswamp.org .
