Models of "American Ethnic Relations: A Historical Perspective"

question # 6-


      He rejects this claim because he does not believe in an "American Society," by this i mean that an American Society is composed of people from different countries. It is like mosaic art, it is not made of one thing, therefore trying to get people to abandon their culture for an American one is wrong
     Euro-American backlash poses a greater threat to him because it is pretty much decimating other races and cultures.
     Recent examples of backlash are from the gay/lesbian communities.  As he mentions, slowly the community is more accepting to other cultures, so there is not really too much backlash by culturally suppressed communities.
