and that last sentence reminds me of the joke about the bigot who gets upset at a hispanic for speaking spanish around him and demands he "learn to speak american damit! Its this lands native language! learn it or get out!" and the guy next to him says "hmm doesnt sounds like you dont know much cherokee either." which leads me back to my first question again: what is an american?

An American is anyone who was born a citizen or becomes a citizen of the United States. I also consider all the non-citizens who are currently in Iraq who are waiting for their citizenship to go through as citizens.

Many people complain about America - then just use it as a stopping off point until they can go back home. While here - they complain about everything American.

I have no problem with anyone who immigrates to the US - but i can not stand it when I hear people who come here and then constantly complain about our culture. I have heard it TOO many times from people. Those immigrants - if they don't like it can leave. As for speaking a foreign language - fine - just as long as they make an effort to speak English.

And we accept a lot of cultures. Cingo de Mayo is basically a new American Holiday too - just like St Patricks Day and other "immigrant" holidays. We as a country embrace the foreign cultures - but they can not expect Americans to just stop waving the flag because they don't like it.
