I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Hispanic/African-American/Asian-Pacific/Lesbian-Gay-Transgendered/Disabled States of America

I just saw a glimpse of the opening ceremony of the Hispanic caucus in the House. How can anyone any longer claim that assimilation is happening as it did in the past, that today’s immigrants are no different, and so on? Does anyone remember an Italian caucus, or a Polish caucus, or an Irish caucus

LA replies:

The Hispanic caucus has a ceremony?

A sign they regard themselves as a separate and quasi-sovereign entity, even as the “conservatives” have gone on insisting that race and ethnicity make no difference and that America can assimilate everyone.
