- sneak 9mo agoWhich river is it in Ireland that they dye green every year for St Patrick’s day like they do in Chicago?
- jfyi 9mo agoThis is a slippery slope argument at best and jingoist rhetoric at worst.
- ahallock 9mo agoIt's really not. It takes many generations to assimilate. You cannot just invite a huge influx of people and not expect a major cultural shift.
- jfyi 9mo ago"major culture shift" != "they will turn your country into the country they fled from". Regardless, the culture is that of a nation of immigrants. I don't see how anything here can cause major cultural shift away from that. I am willing to bet you won't be willing to elaborate either, so next goal post move please...

- ohyoutravel 9mo agoI think they’re trying to get you to put on record in print your explicit views. It’s a trap — don’t do it! As soon as you commit to words that you’re exhibiting discriminatory or abusive behavior towards a group because of their race or national origin, they will call you a racist!

There have been waves of immigrants before where the Irish or Italians or Germans were seen as "invaders" undermining the character of the country. And then their descendants fully integrated and became part of the culture. Also the US and Western European countries are in much better economic and civic conditions that the immigrants can take advantage of to live better lives and contribute.
