It's stupid. It's always been stupid. America has never been as free or relatively prosperous as it was when it was composed largely of the descendants of its Anglo/Saxon founders. The fact that it did so well while getting so diverse was testimony to the soundness of the Anglo/Saxon ideas of those founders and our reverence for them. Thus there were in certain parts of the country Jewish Yankees, black rednecks, Italian hillbillies, and Mexican cowboys. But now that those ideas are actively hated and despised as the hate fueled racist rhetoric from a bygone and best forgotten age, diversity will do nothing but continue to divide us.
You were doing very well until "Mexican cowboys", who were real cowboys before we had cowboys.
Besides being Americans who were mostly transplants, our ancestors stuck together in their ethnic groups: Little Tokyo, Chinatown, Little Italy, Harlem, ...etc. And with plenty of slurs and fighting. But each individual and ethnic group was also patriotic and ready to die for their great country and its promise of freedom. That gave us our strength.
Now our government has become so corrupted, working against our freedoms, that our ancestors would think we had been beaten by our eternal enemies, the communists. Who have truly beaten us, from within, via both parties.
