The real tragedy today is that there are many Americans who want a monopoly on American identity
American identity is much more heterogeneous today than ever before, in no small part thanks to ecumenism.

But let's not mince words: the white and largely male-dominated subset of Americans see themselves as the vanguards of the true - and dying - standard of what it means to be American. Therefore, they would rather fight scorched-earth against alternative lifestyles and skin colors over the meaning of what makes up an American rather than work together to ensure national prosperity in a turbulent world order.
