Is diversity really a strength?

i like going to lunch and seeing Mexican, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Thai, American, Japanese and Italian food places to choose from

diversity is awesome

On that note, you are 100% right. So much good food out there.

I think one big misnomer is that America doesn't have an identity so what should immigrants be expected to assimilate to. We do have an identity but that identity is shifting due to many factors such as the corporate media conglomerates and religious progressiveness.

I didn't mean to say that America has no identity, I just wanted to know more specifically about what it means to assimilate. Like do you mean learn English or what?

I was with you until the last paragraph - what do you mean by assimilate, like what specifically would you expect new immigrants into this country to do?

I think what he means by assimilate, is to accept western ideals and culture, to become a proud American.
For instance if you are a Muslim who migrates to the USA and still believes peoples arms should be cut off if they steal then you do not belong here, you are not assimilating.

All encompassing. Cultural, social, ethnic, etc.
