In today’s whirlwind of political correctness and virtue signaling, there’s a notion floating around that all cultures are equal. Pop culture and certain talking heads on the left love to chant this mantra like it’s a magical spell, granting ultimate equality to the world. But some folks are standing up and saying, “Wait a minute!” While every person is undeniably created equal in the eyes of God and the law, cultures are a different story.
Peek into some corners of the globe, and you’ll see cultural practices that make your hair stand on end—like slavery, underage marriage, and more. It’s baffling to some that anyone would suggest rolling out the red carpet for these cultural practices to parade right into the United States. Just because a practice is part of someone’s culture doesn’t mean it’s something to be celebrated or adopted.
This brings us to the broader topic of immigration—a hot potato in today’s political kitchen. Sure, immigration has its benefits, but pretending all forms of it are good is like saying ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is a balanced diet. When immigrants arrive en masse without any push for assimilation, they can sometimes form bubbles of their home cultures, isolating themselves rather than integrating into the fabric of American life.
This lack of assimilation is what some are calling “civilizational suicide.” Neighborhoods and cities shift without any incorporation of American cultural norms, fostering enclaves that resemble other countries more than the land of liberty they now call home. It’s a sad sight to see the rich tapestry of American culture fraying as new threads arrive but don’t weave into the existing pattern.
Moreover, there are real concerns about security and societal impact. Assimilation should be a prerequisite for those wanting to join the American family, a step toward ensuring they share and uphold the values that have built this nation. Without it, there looms the potential for conflict, misunderstanding, and even crime, as different cultural norms clash.
It’s about time for a back-to-basics approach. Being selective and measured about who comes to America, and how they integrate, isn’t just common sense—it’s essential for maintaining the essence of what makes America a beacon of hope and freedom. Prioritizing our own culture doesn’t mean shutting the door to others; it means setting the table for everyone to dine together in harmony, not chaos.
