  This is not an argumentas much as it is a question... so help me understand. I don't get this American Nationalism..... personally, I am an american (i guess) by birth but German at heart. World's melting pot? Who would be proud of being a part of one of the most integrated societies in the world. Equality and diversity is supposedly what america is built on, i dont know about any of you but i'm not proud being a part of it.  Then go to Germany asswipe. Like Theodore Roosevelt said, there can be no such thing as a hyphenated American. You're either American or you're not. There can be no such thing as a German-American, only an American of German descent. If you're not proud of being a part of it, then leave..the exit's always open man.
