What's ironic is that many times those equivocating hyphenations are seeking 'equality' by differentiating themselves from the whole.  I've never quite understood that paradox.\n\nI think Colin Powel answered correctly when he said, "i'm not African-American, I'm American."

Isn't that the American way...

Yes because being an American and/or in America guarantees the "right" to free speech.\n\nSee how cool that is, we may not agree with your assertion, but we'll defend your right to say it!! God Bless America!

what do u mean about americans? Americans are people from North America, Central America and South America. If you mean why do some united states citizens dont want immigrants here. I think is because they are afraid that they will take there jobs but, that is not the case immigarants to this country have always worked the worse jobs that nobody else wanted to work.  They are also afraid that they are taking advantage of public services, they should be allow to take advantage of thoose programs they pay taxes.

Anyone can have duel citizenship, but you need good reasons. But, I ask you, if you mean to be an American, as well as Indian. Do you want to be an American or not? America doesn't need immigrant's who are more faithful to their natural country becoming a citizen of us. We need loyal, honest people who will love our Nation and stand with her people, not divide us.

If you are an American it is important, because we live here and raise our children here. If we better the country we better ourselves.

Well, this may come as a shock to you, but Americans DO own MOST of the world.  The entire world's economy is based on the US dollar. Technology and productivity, human rights, and quality of life have improved ALL OVER THE WORLD because of American innovative thought and ( YES!! ) compassion!\n\nWhy are we now embroiled in a situation where MANY ( NOT ALL!! ) non-American's hate us?..I think it is JEALOUSY!!\nYes, there are GREEDY and SELFISH American's...But I think you'll find those faults also in other cultures.\n\nBottom line: Americans only want the BEST for everyone!!..We don't want to conquer or impose our will on anyone.  But we will fight to preserve our way of life! And the world would be better off if other governments would simply recognize that fact, and let us HELP them.\n\nDon't under sell American resilience and resourcefullness!\nWe will be a powerful force to deal with for MANY more years.\n\nDon't tread on us!!

me neither, but america is supposed to be responsible for americans, some are not eligible for medicaid or medicare,welfare or other care,so the hit the streets,along with there children. but since they are already here, the government doesnt need to make thim friends, so they are forgotten,rather than take care of your own.\nkinda like teddy right,veterans we will take care of you, now it is only if you have other insuraance and are 100%, not 80 or 70, or just missing one leg, or arm or and eye and a arm, it is 100% service coonected.\nwell what about the 100% american citizen, like i said they dont need made friends with, and we need more quick food stop owners and cabbies for when all the american die off:)

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

You are really rude. What about the American Dream? People should be able to have a chance in America no matter where they are from or their ethnicity. Think before you speak.

I'm American and I don't think they do. I think some of us think that we are inferior though.

Americans are rude, lazy, selfish and arrogant.  Yes, we should keep out of other countries' disputes.  You wouldn't want someone whose life is screwed up telling you how to run yours, would you?  America is a mess.  We have no business telling others what to do.  We should stay home and clean house here.

It does happen but it takes a generation or two for new immigrants to assimilate into American society.  Some groups do not want to assimilate and just want to have their own communities, separate from others.  This is NOT what American is about.  I do not disparage anyone's culture, and we SHOULD celebrate heritage and culture of our past, but we need to all embrace our common bond as Americans.  E Pluribus Unum means "Out of Many, One".  This is what we need to strive for, to be the nation that we were on September 12th 2001.  To be One!
