      11/Also, almost everyone surveyed (94.1%) agreed that being able to speak English was important for being an American. And 93.7% said having American citizenship was important. That should quiet the fears of the Huntingtonian nativists...

      12/What's more, the conception of what it means to be an American basically didn't vary across races. This means that at least in 2004, most Americans thought of themselves as "Americans", and most agreed about what that meant.

      13/After establishing these basic facts, the book correlated different conceptions of Americanism, and different self-identities, with various policy preferences and with perceptions of discrimination. This approach has at least two big methodological problems...

      14/The first problem is that since such large majorities of people agree on what it means to be an American, there isn't much variation in the data. The second problem, of course, is telling correlation from causation. This is just a survey.

      18/Now, there's an obvious correlation/causation problem here, namely that people who identify more strongly with their racial group might also be the type of people more likely to feel they're being discriminated against...

      19/BUT, interestingly, there's not much correlation between Latinos' and Asians' identity and their perceptions that their racial GROUP is discriminated against in America. It's only INDIVIDUAL-level discrimination that correlates with feeling less American.

      20/This suggests that individual racial discrimination is the biggest danger for national unity in the face of large-scale immigration. In other words, we need less of this crap:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhZEPmchxCU …

          23/The data in "Americanism in the Twenty-First Century" strongly implies that if it weren't for asshole racists giving nonwhite Americans a hard time, we would have national unity.

          24/Even WITH racists running around being assholes, most Americans of all races feel American, and we still all have broad agreement on what it means to be an American (at least, as of 2004). But, we can do better.

          Why not look also at what some of the immigrants could do better to cause less of it? It's surely not the case that immigrants of color are all wonderful people with nothing to improve upon. Also, Pew polls show immigrant favorability > for groups that are most productive.
