      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.

      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.

          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.

          International "western" unity. I miss America of my childhood; now, instead of being the lighthouse of the free world, its more like the rambling, drunk, racist uncle you have to invite, cuz he paid you through college.

          Acceptance of Immigration occurred when in our history? The frustration today centers around the lack of any coherent policy and ridiculous media coverage. How can anyone justify one of these "caravans" as something we should be OK with? Immigration should not be random!

          "Christian" is used rather loosely in today's world. Not all who claim to be Christian actually are. You MUST be BORN again by the Spirit of God coming to live on the inside of you. John 3, Romans 8:9

          This is a valid point if you made the same argument when Obama used race against national unity during most of his tenure. Need to hold both administrations to the same standard.
