This seems like a variation on the "yankee go home" statement often heard. There is one key difference though. When someone from another country says or writes "yankee go home" the person who wrote it or said it is viewed favorably by the news media and is lauded as a "Patriot" of their country, being "courageous" and many other good and noble things. Now when an American says to a foreigner "go home" the American is considered a racist by the media for having such thoughts. Why the different standard for Americans than those from other countries. If the foreigner wishes to have his culture free from an influence that he or she views as undesriable is a "patriot" and is "courageous" shouldn't the American who wishes the same thing for his or her country also be a "patriot"? <br /><br />Why the different standards? If the American is a racist for such things shouldn't the person from the other country also be a racist for holding the same views or if the person from the other country is courageous for this shouldn't the American also be courageous? The different standards for different people and countries is puzzling. <br /><br />I think the media and the world as a whole view America, its citizens, and the life of its people as less important than the lives of those of othr nations. This problem is compounded by the fact that generally America's leaders whether they have an R or a D after their name have generally not stood up for Ameridca or its people.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
