In the relentless march towards so-called progress, there’s a dangerous trend emerging: the erasure of our national identity in the name of inclusivity. The concept of the "melting pot" has morphed from a celebration of diverse cultures contributing to the American way of life into an excuse to undermine the very foundation of what it means to be American.
Once upon a time, immigrants came to this country with the dream of becoming part of something greater. They embraced American values, learned the language, and contributed to the national fabric while still honoring their heritage. This balanced approach is being tossed aside in favor of an ideology that demands we dilute our identity to avoid offending anyone.
Our history, traditions, and values are not something to be bargained with. The greatness of America lies in its unique blend of freedom, democracy, and a shared sense of purpose. We cannot allow these core principles to be watered down by an overzealous commitment to inclusivity that disregards the importance of a cohesive national identity.
The push for a homogeneous global culture ignores the fact that national identity provides a sense of belonging and continuity. It’s the glue that holds us together, fostering patriotism and a sense of duty to one another. Without it, we risk becoming a fragmented society, vulnerable to external threats and internal divisions.
