Bursting some myths

There is a claim among European Americans that as soon as they immigrated to America they became Americans. They integrated and blended well. Did they now? They did with other European Americans. Yes they do not care much that their grandfather was French and their mother was Italian but they do care that their ancestors came from Europe.
I say European Americans have more difficulty blending with Americans from other cultures than immigrants from anywhere else in the world. It is a good time to do some soul searching.
