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 …
21/We need absolutely ZERO of this crap:http://fortune.com/2017/03/22/when-americans-tell-americans-go-back-to-your-country/ …
22/Not even a little bit of this crap!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mOqoklLyM0 …
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.
25/If you see a racist giving someone a hard time or yelling "Get out of my country" or some such bullshit, shut them down immediately. For the sake of common human decency, but also for the sake of the country. (end)
