Just a little tidbit from a WSJ comments page.
Minority Births are a New Majority
Some jerk posted this, which has received 4 anonymous "thumbs up" recommendations so far, in 37 minutes. This is how many of them really feel, and it's disgusting:
In the history of the world there has never been a successful nation along the size and importance of the United States that was multi- cultural, ethnic, religious and racial.
Prior to the 1964 Immigration Reform Act the US was not a diversified nation. It was comprised mostly of descendents of white Europeans who had consistent Judeo-Chirstian values. In large part we cross this historic line because of that '64 law, which Ted Kennedy and Liberal Democrats said wound NOT happen. They lied as usual. We are also losing our Judeo-Chirstian values for a variety of reasons. I'll chalk up most of that up to the liberalization of our society in general.

(5,023 posts)What's disturbing about this, is that it seems to be written in a pretty intelligent manner, indicating this guy could be a boss, executive, or even a politician. If he has any kind of power he probably is discriminating against people day to day.

(51,438 posts)seems to have missed the Chinese laborers and African slaves that remained in the US. And I say, "Three cheers for the liberalization of our society!"
