Because moving to a place for work purposes is the same as committing literal genocide? Wow.
- achingtooth 7y agoBecause it destroys my culture and texture of being.
- belltaco 7y agoNot going to react to that because Poe's law applies here.
- untog 7y agoWhat culture? American culture, the one that is comprised almost entirely of immigrant experiences?
- blamewhitey 7y agoevery culture is the result of immigration and foreign influences, that doesn't mean Americans lose the right to have a country for themselves. India is a nation of immigrants heavily influenced by centuries of foreign rule. Does that mean Indians don't have a culture?
- untog 7y agoI never said America doesn't have a culture. I said that it is almost entirely informed by immigrant experiences, so the idea of shutting off new immigrant experiences makes no sense. You're just picking some arbitrary moment and saying "culture is done now". Culture is not and has never been some static constant throughout time. It's always changed, in few places more so than in America.
