A perverse logic

            An awful lot of fellow Americans are getting screwed by the system.

            By that I mean using the hyphenated American spelling, like Italian-American, African-American, Jewish-American, and so forth. To me it is all just part of the multi-cultural idea that is the fad today. What a waste and failed idea.

            We are just Americans, with our own culture and values. This especially applies to our children who are not burdened with old country values brought over by their ancestors, be they from the other vast continents and countries on this earth. Nor, apparently, are they or the rest of us burdened to think this way, either.

            It still amazes me, in the most American way, that our census has even developed check off terms like Latino or Hispanic. And to be fair, even the Arab world has come up with a term Palestinian, which is new in our world vernacular, and very often repeated in our Western "news", like that term has always been around, which of course it has not.

            Another thing that really disturbs me is the idea of we humans will vote some kind of census assigned ethnicity, like we are from some sub-culture, rather than being American. How about we are just Americans who vote our own opinions, which do vary all over the place.

            Fortunately I am old enough to even remember Martin Luther King speaking about content of character, and not skin color.  That idea still works for me in our new world USA. Yep, no perverse logic here. I just want my Family to be happy.
