What do we have? We have Hispanic Ghetto's, Indian Ghetto's, Asian Ghetto's, Black Ghetto's, White Ghetto's. A large majority of the people of a certain race recreating the culture of their EX-Country of residence. If you want to charge Whte People with racism, look at yourself first, not all of the minorities, but a majority of the minorities(whaaat? lol) are just pure evil, in the sense that they will fucking talk shit about a person of a different race in front of them, however in a different language.
That is where language comes up, what is the first form of seperation, you know when youare mad at someone, you break up with them, when you see someone you despise, you dont talk to them. That is exactly what is happening in America right now, and not only is it causing social apartheid, it is severing our economy, and it is weakening the public school systems (hard to imagine, i know, but i see it everyday).
Now I'm not being racist here (I am an immigrant after all, all be it from England, but I am Brown) but many of today's immigrant youth are just fucking crazy, they have more hate against America then any rebel you can imagine. ESOL programs in school are no longer being used as a way to help students who really need help, if you come to my school, you'll see more ESOL classes then AP/IB classes. Why? cause they dont have to learn english, for any person who is not half brain dead, or mentally retarded (stating the facts) to not pass those ESOL classes you would have to be an utter idiot. I have seen people at my school fake and go back to ESOL so they can graduate with basically no requirements, not once but numerous times, and I go to a fairly well off school, these kids have the ability to learn, its not like they have to go home and lay bricks.
This is where the "tossed salad," layerd cake," "oil and water" effect is taking place, it is already existant among people who are older, but im young so i can only speak of what i see day in and day out. America was founded on the basis that we would become a "melting pot", but this shit has gone way to far with.....
Immigrant:"Hola, Bonjour, Jai Shree Krishna, Khudaffice......."
Business Owner: "Hello, how may i help you?"
Immigrant:"EHHH?"
Business Owner: "Yes........."
Immigrant: "JOB, job, miii-minimum w--ea--wage, health, insurace, 401k"
Business Owner: "Im sorry, we dont have any openings"
Immigrant: "Bhenchod goreh chuthia!" (Sisterfucking white bitch!)
That maybe an extreme, heck that may never have happened, but you see wher im headed.
Feel free to ask me to elaborate, i have a few pages on word
*note this tho, know I am not perfect, nor am I confused, ABCD. Im not racist i just state the truth, most people are cool, and they want their own identity, but for America to remain on top, not crumble under the increasing segregation, and they want to fix that foundation crack of the gap between the rich and the poor that has been existent sine 1776, we need to do away with welfare for the non disabled, and unemployment money, man let the people manage their own god damn money. With that being said the system has worke,d but as most the Presidents have interpreted laws to fit the needs of the day, we can no longer interpret them, we need to amend them.
