I grew up in an area that contained many families whose grandparents all migrated to America around the same time. I went to church and could not understand the sermon, because it was in a language no one taught me. I was formed by that culture. Then, as an adult, I was given a government fellowship to live in that country. I had studied the language for a year, but it was a difficult language. But something wonderful happened.
In that country, suddenly, I felt very comfortable. Like I belonged. I was like them. It was the first time for me outside of America, the great melting pot. This was the first time I felt I understood everyone around me. They had the same sort of reactions to things that I did. I finally understood ethnic identity. Following my time in Country A, I went to Country B, which was also very homogenous. There I observed how different the people were in their behavior than in Country A. It was enlightening, to say the least.
So now I am observing the ruin throughout Europe due to the mass influx of foreign people who share no common ethnicity. It is terrible. Sweden is trying to get rid of the enclaves of Muslims who are raping all the Swedish women. In Spain, the Muslims from Africa are hurting Spaniards. And we in America have brought in THOUSANDS of Muslims from Somalia (wrecking Minneapolis) and Afghanistan (who knows what they will eventually do?). Am I prejudiced? Yes, I am, because I have studied Islam and know that assimilation is practically impossible for these people. We shall see how this was a terrible, terrible idea.
I do understand that totally, my mother is german. She goes back every couple of years to visit her siblings and the crimes there have escalated. The people there are not safe. My uncle has someone break into their house when they were upstairs asleep. Luckily no harm to them but they stole snd ransacked the downstairs. Traditional way of life is gone. Very sad
