She's right. EDIT: The majority of the USA's population has always been white and Christian. And without brutal oppression of the majority, the majority will always shape a nation's identity. Besides, this whole idea of America being a melting pot is a recent invention. For most of U.S. history, Americans did not see the USA as a melting pot. And did not want that. It was never intended to be a melting pot...the ruling class of the USA just betrayed Americans and turned it into a melting pot... Americans for most of U.S. history only wanted the USA to be a white nation. Americans in the past barely tolerated Catholics, Irish people and Italian people(in other words other white people). And wanted to send all the black slaves back to Africa. Look up Liberia. Americans never really agreed to a bunch of black slaves in their country. Only a small percentage of powerful and greedy plantation owners ever wanted that. And you are telling me, they saw America as a melting pot with all the people in the world living in America, holding hands like one of Kalergi's wet dreams? Nah, a lot of people just want to rewrite what America was out of fear because they are afraid of America returning to it's roots. Because they would no longer be welcome. People can argue that America has always been native Americans and mestizos. And they would be right. But the America they are talking about is not actually the nation that is America(aka the USA). These people were never accepted by white Americans to the point they were a part of the nation's identity. They were excluded and might as well have been living in their own separate nations.
