1. Why is Arizona afraid to learn about different cultures?

2. Arizona is winning the official "Teabaggy State" award!
It was a dead heat between Texas, Oklahoma, Utah and Arizona. But Arizona is taking the lead with a vengeance. The South East might as well just turn bright blue because they have lost the crazy edge.

4. The Native American museum in PH is probably the best one in the country.
I can't believe AZ right now. The mind boggles.

As an forreigner, an lurker here at DU, and as one who have had a love affair with the US for many, many years... I just have to say.. What the H**** is happening with US this days... Are you on a nervous break down or something... Can an country who have been the light for the rest of the world for allmoust 200 year, black out, and be more repressive than Nazi-Germany in the 1930s.. The Soviet in the age of Stalin, more repressive than the old regimes of europe, who fight nail and tail, becouse they subcumbed to the fact that you either reform, or got a revolt on your hand...

What is going on in the US this days.. I know "everything schanged after 2001" but allmoust a decade after you are collective on a nervos breakdown still. And if I am right, Arizona are not the only state who want to ban everything that is not white, anglo saxcian and is fluent in english (the american accent, not propper english, who is the Queens english by the way) Now they ban ethic Studies, and would posible punish they who want to study or teatch minority culture.. Are we in the 1940s US, where study of ethnicity by all means was horrible, and wrong, or are we living in the US of 2010, where most americans tend to be little more educated about the world?...

This is just another sigh of what US have been the last couple of deacades. And many have the meaning that it started with Ronald Reagan, and then just ratle down the ages... This is just..... Wel as long as you are white, at least look white you are in the clear..

I know one thing, Im not setting my foot in US before the madness is ended, Maybe I should use my savings to travel to the Peopoles Republic of China instead of - at least they are some honest about the fact that they dosen't claim to be the first democratic Country in modern times.. And even tho I would have been more "pure white" than most of the border police, and custom officials who are in US, Im not excactly high and blond.. Rather normal size for me, and with a weeks beard I could easy been taking for a middle eastern or something like that...

This is so sad, I cant express my in english, who sad I really are:cry: :cry: What have become my friend USA?

8. We are ashamed of these Americans, too. So come visit some of
us in other wonderful parts of the USA where we don't act so stupidly.

Many of us love to travel away from the USA and love to have foreign guests visit us.

True, most americans is not like this, who is really stupid by all means... And it is sad to se a country like your going down the toilet becouse of this silly, stupid arrogant bastards who for the most represent not the ordinary american....

Have allways had a found heart for US, and once was wondering to emigrate to US, but for some reason it never happend, and wel I have to say, im glad I stay...

And I might travel to US even tho it would not be in Arizona for a while.,..

11. What's also shocking about this story is how little attention it's received
from the media.
