White entertainment...perhaps, but what is the racial makeup of the US? 10-15% black and 15-20% hispanic? So if one in 10 on TV is black and 1 in 8 is hispanic that's representative. same for miss america.
BUT WAIT just one minute folks. This is america, a melting pot. You want to be american, then melt in. Join the system and achieve success. If you insist on remaining separate and asking for a hand out and up, then yes, you are a minority by choice and have chosen to suffer the consequences.
Want proof? the irish had problems when they came. the jews did too. Most hispanics are blending it, and by gen 3 are as american as anyone else.
Asians are excelling economically and educationally and aren't getting hand outs, special deals, affirmitive action etc. They didn't arrive her speaking english either.
As for the immigrants - we should get the hell our of iraq and take mexico instead - make them all defacto americans and i bet there is no civil war to throw us out.
As to pride in being american (or attitude, etc) - we're number one, like it or not. When you're number one you'll want to lord it over everyone else too. Britain was #1 once, so was Spain. I think the British had their impact on the world, and since allbut 2 or 3 countries in S and central america speak spanish I suspect Spain was once vilified worldwide too.
At least 75% of those that kill with a gun aren't legally allowed to have that gun. It isn't the gun. We don't need more laws.

What a charming sentiment.
Let me get this straight in my head:
America the melting point won't tolerate your differences: you have to conform to the majority view. You choose to be part of a minority.
White people have become white americanised within about three generations - other racial types just have to try a bit harder to become white americanised.
Having a minority of television channels catering for a specific minority is objectionable - those minorities should be happy with minority representation on the channels aimed at the majority.
Every Asian has been born speaking a different tongue and has mastered English, proving their racial tendency to hard work. Presumably if you cannot become white americanised, you could try and adopt some Asian genes.
People from poorer nations have sufficiently little national pride that they would make good targets for imperial expansion.
America is no. 1 and we should all bow down before it - all Americans walk tall as you kick the people you are walking all over - absent a history, history has taught you no lessons.

Matthew, welcome to the new America, land of the free for native-born white males only, and where the rest of us (Americans and non-Americans alike) can go f *ck ourselves.
Here's an insightful article from February of this year that I think describes this unfortunate state of affairs accurately:
From Little Rock to Baghdad

"...And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these commandments."
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are those who mourn
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are those who third for righteousness
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed are the pure in heart
Blessed are the peacemakers
I'm afraid I don't see much in the OP that echoes any of the foundation of my worldview. I guess that means it's garbage to me...
