28. So fuck them if they assimilate and fuck them if they don't?

I can only imagine being a young woman with a "strange" name trying to fit into a country that welcomes all with one hand and slaps them away with the other. That believes in celebrating certain older ethnicities, like Italian and Irish and Scottish and such but wishes these weirdos with their funny clothes and odd food would become americans and don't get them started on the mexicans, puh-lease.

America, Fuck Yeah!!
