    The government seemed to only be focusing on the experience of white/ European immigrants transition to America. Omi and Winant clearly point out in their book and research that it’s the minority’s job to be assimilated into society, and not the larger society responsibility fro accepting them as they are. They argue in the United States that ethnicity theory was exclusively based on the immigration patterns of a white ethnic population and did not account for the unique experiences of non-whites in this country (Omi & Winant 17). Omi and Winant also believe in the “Bootstraps Model”. As a result, they believe that hard work will allow one to overcome any obstacle that is placed before them.

  • Should Immigration Require Assimilation

    415 Words  | 2 Pages

    A prominent discussion in modern day politics has to do with the amount of inflowing immigrants to the United States. Citizens are split between whether or not immigrants should assimilate to American mainstream culture. The author of “Should Immigration Require Assimilation?” is weighing the necessity of political assimilation for the yearly large amounts of new U.S citizens rather than cultural assimilation. The political assimilation that he is referring to is the “embracing of the principles of American democracy, identifying with U.S. history, and communicating in English.” It was surprising to me when I learned that the songwriter that wrote the national anthem said, “ If America Changes to the point that it is no longer a Christian

    The ability for people to look at a situation from a different perspective is vital in today’s globalized society. Diversity is the most important, core attribute we each share that gives us the ability to assess new situations through our diverse backgrounds and upbringings. Unlike Patrick J. Buchanan’s argument in his essay titled “Deconstructing America,” diversity is a necessity in America’s culture as opposed to the burden it is described as. Conversely, Fredrickson 's essay titled “Models of American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective,” illustrated a more precise version of American history that disproves Buchanan’s ethnocentric ideologies. Buchanan speaks of diversity on a narrow, one-way street.

    Liu uses this strategy to explain to us why Americans have a hard time pulling away from traditional culture and embracing multiculturalism. This stems from the fact that in the past, politics and media coverage during the beginning of the culture wars put the two in contention. He acknowledges in the article that “The assumption was that multiculturalism sits in polar opposition to a traditional common culture” (Liu 10), in contrast, Liu wants his readers to understand that this is not the case. He also negates the mentality people hold that non whites didn’t play a role in shaping America. He uses Ronald Takaki’s argument that says, “Since well before the formation of the United States, the United States has been shaped by non whites (Liu 11)”.
