I don’t really understand what you guys even mean by Hispanics assimalating? Why do you need to assimilae in a place you’ve been for hundreds of years? I guess the real question is, do they have command of the English language? Do they work? Do they pursue education? Do they have low criminality levels?
Those are the real important questions.
I mean does anyone worry about Blacks assimilating? Are blacks assimilated yet?[/quote]
I think those are fair questions. We don’t all need to think the same and even be of the same ethnicity to get along.
The problem is, government has grown so large and there is so much wealth re-distribution that there is too much at stake. If one ethnicity decided they want to vote themselves more money from another ethnicity because they’re underperforming economically, then that leads to racial strife over time. If one ethnicity is forming racist criminal gangs that are running another ethnicity out of their old neighborhoods, I also see that as a problem.
Really, if the crime rates were the same and everyone left everyone else’s money alone, I don’t think anyone would care, at least not me.
The problem is, the Mexicans like to vote Democrat and the Democrats like taxes, especially personal income taxes and capital gains taxes. Capital gains and personal income are things we’ve achieved with the sweat of our own brows and our own planning and foresight, respectively. When I see that another race is voting for this group of people who are trying to take my money to give to them, it irritates me to no end.
Similarly, when I see that this same race is forming gangs that threaten my kids and me, I likewise get extremely bent out of shape because it’s me that goes to prison if I decide to handle the problem they create, not them. I also have to pay for the prisons to house them.
So, the reason everyone panics about things like illegitimacy and high-school drop-out rates is that those 2 things are the best indicators of how successful a person is going to be in life. On a group level, if one group is underperforming the majority in those areas, that group is going to require more welfare and imprisonment than the majority, which leads to more taxes for the majority. If that group is outbreeding the majority, it then becomes an even bigger problem.
People worry all the time about the blacks, btw. That was one of the impetuses behind the “No Child Left Behind” act - to boost black and “hispanic” (a misnomer, I know) educational achievement.
