------------------------------------ Mexicans couldn't hang and they couldn't improve what they were trying to conquer a inhabit . As proof , see the 'zhithole' that they have in ' mexico' and most of the rest of South America and further down . [ as a side comment I partialy blame 'catholics' ] Anyway go ahead and compare mexico to the USA or any other Western Nation Lysis .----------------------- for the most part 'aliens' and imported third worlders do not assimilate and don't want to . If they wanted to assimilate they would know English before they got to the USA and that just one example Lysis . 'mexicans' for example . many of them think that' mexico' still owns part of the USA and are even taught that in their 'mexican' schools Lysis .Then what do you mean by "assimilating"? What is an immigrant supposed to do to "assimilate"? What have some people NOT done?I’m making Ethiopian food as we speaking I can even make the bread.. you don’t know the definition of assimilating.I stopped by the Ethiopian market/bar yesterday to pick up a carryout that I had been promising myself for months (kitfo!). Yellow flowers were strewn all over the floors. I felt to be careful where I stepped, but the owner explained to me that it was the Ethiopian New Year and the flowers were part of the celebration, as they are the first flowers of spring in Ethiopia. While I waited for my order, I watched people dancing enthusiastically on Ethiopian TV, dressed in traditional Ethiopian white embroidered gear. I wish I could have gotten up and danced with them. How much do you want people to "assimilate" and how? If this market weren't here, I wouldn't know a thing about it.
BTW: I am impressed if you can make injera. Teff? Yumm. I've got my mouth full.
"Mexicans" were here long before your ass was. Spanish was spoken before English was in many parts of the southwest.
Again, try defining for the rest of us what "assimilate" means.
