The Melting Pot., america's new generation Options

[pandamonium]

I wonder if the more inter-racial couples keep forming and then make babies.. would the next generation of americans be a new culture like i mean with all the combined races form a new kind of culture.

lol light tanned skin people walking around everywhere.

If this were to happen would it be a negative or a positive issue.

for example.

Negative. If all cultures combined we would loose a lot of them and we wouldnt have any traces back to the past like family that would be real chinese, filipino, african american etc. everyone would just be the same.

Positive. If all cultures combined a new one would arise because the new american society would have its own new values and traditions.

so what do you say negative or positive?

well to me i GUESS there is already one lol..the filipinos are asians and 'spanish' combined haha..but maybe [to be serious]

[*salcha*]

well, its not like it would matter to me
we're not racist, right? :]
...if we could still combine the cultures, and still keep the old ones.

We wouldn't lose culture because there will be traces in each one of us. Who's to say that a person isn't "real" chinese, filipino, african american etc. just because they aren't full?

Exactly, I am Half Mexican, Half American However I consider myself a Real Mexican American. People can still trace back their culture its not like they are losing it once the cultures are combined

the melting pot usually exists.

there is, however, an exception. This is hispanics who immigrate.

The hispanics who immigrate are not assimilating. this is a fact. (well, not all of them.)

there are hispanic societies where the people only speak spanish, and so on. If immigration is not capped, eventually America will become a latin american nation where you have to know both spanish and english.

Georgia has tried to stop this by saying you can't have signs on your stores in spanish- for example you can't have 'enter' in spanish.

the problem is, what are you going to do about taco and salsa? will taco bell have to change it's name to "mexican fast food bell" ?

have you ever seenthe episode of South Park where people can from the future and all cultures combined??

How can you combined a race? If you are mix, arn't you already combined? Even if you are 1/3 Hawaiian, you are still hawaiian!
