again, telling people how to live in a free country.

people not speaking english hasn't changed your life at all. it hasn't changed mine. why would it change yours?

It has changed life, even here in mid TN for evidence just drive up or down Nolensville or Murfreesboro Rd. Half the signs you see, if not more, are in Spanish only. Customer service calls take longer having to wait for the number to dial for English. Just about every social service office or DMV location offers Spanish speakers to to translate for those that can't speak English, those translators do not work for free, we pay for them.

Here is just a short list of ways we are all effected by illegal immigrants. All of these are minimal save the added cost to social services but if we actually enforced the laws on the books and only allowed those properly vetted to enter and work in the US we wouldn't have many, if any, of those problems.

Pretty sure college graduate demographics have more than 1 percent consisting of black people

should be easy to prove it then since you're "pretty sure". Also make sure to evaluate each candidate on their knowledge, dedication, drive, ambition, etc and report back your findings.

Could it show a bias? Possibly, but nothing you've presented shows one in any way

those things you mentioned can't be measured in numbers, and you know it. hence, it's an easy cop out as to why there is such a large difference between college demographics and CEO demographics.

Because they are in the U.S. When they come to this country, they live by our rules.They dont live in that country. You can celebrate your culture without flying another flag over American soil. Multi-culturalism is what is destroying this country. Hyphenated-American instead of just plain American.

I have friends that live overseas and they dont refer to themselves as American-German.

Give the PC a rest

I wouldn't base anything on college demographics. Anyone who has actually been should agree with that statement

I guess I'm so American that to you I'm un-american.
I guess I should just bow down and let them do what they want.

Like what was said above, let them display their flag in their home or business, but not in a place that is paid for with taxpayer money, like a school.

I guess you would be cool for them to have every flag of every nation, flying at our courthouses, monuments, The Capital building, etc..

Better yet, why dont you go to another country and put up the American flag in a school and see what you get. Try Venezuela first!!

Actually, you are the worst kind of American. One that embarrasses the country when he thinks he is being a patriot. It's OK. I realize you don't know any better

it's called using your head. 30 years ago, you think less than 1 percent of people graduating from a business school were black??? you'd be wrong.

i bet it wasn't any higher than say 2%. today it's around 8%. and that is with affirmitive action.

Why men earn more than women

For example, women sales engineers earn 143 percent of their male counterparts' salaries, yet less than 20 percent of sales engineers are women.

For example, Farrell cites research that "Fortune 1000 CEOs typically paid their dues with 60- to 90-hour workweeks for about 20 years. Yet women are less than half as likely as men to work more than 50 hours a week. And women are less likely to agree, every few years, to uproot themselves and their families to far-flung places to get the necessary promotions."

That's crap. Multiculturalism has been a big part of the country, but it's not what makes the country. And watching the country slide in favor of politically correct garbage is infuriating. It's very possible to be tolerant of other cultures without bending over for them.

Yeh because they've had such a great playing field to become billionaires. Some of the owner money was made before blacks were allowed to even play with whites, much less manage or own.

You would be surprised about what I know and dont know

So I embarass this country.

The Apologist in Charge embarasses this country as does the millions of his minions.

People that dont have any national pride disgrace this country and embarass us.

As far as you not coming to my neck of the woods, I guess my luck just turned for the better.

Unlike most, I could give a rats ass what you think of me

How am I in any way close to resembling an elitist, you are making some huge assumptions there buddy.

I love the "it doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother you" mentality.......talk about telling someone else how they should live and think.

i suggest you take a look at the forbes list of richest people in the world and show me how many inherited the money rather than made it themselves. it isn't a sizable percentage. and it's an infinetely small % who made that money before the last generation. and let's not forget there are plenty of billionare minorities (what we consider minorities that is, not minorities in their country) in other countries.

I agree with this statement tVF.But- How is allowing AMERICAN's of Mexican heritage to sport the country of their fathers flag in the hallway bc of a celebration of their heritage for a day or two bending over for them. I feel like the only hostility came from the tearing down of the flag. (I obv wasn't there, but from what I've read/heard) If they start singing the Mexican anthem and saluting and pledging to the Mexican flag. Or organizing political demonstrations on campus, I'd see the angle being taken by many. But, I just think its all overblown. And the idiocy started with the "Patriot" kid. There's a difference between fighting for liberty and just fighting.

And that is your opinion. Other cultures???

Sounds as though many of you are in need of some reading. Cultures vary from region to region in this country. Even in some states, the cultures vary depending on location. In Tennessee, it is different from west to east. Like I said, it is what makes this country so great. I don't want everyone to be the same

So if they decided to hang the Bonnie Blue in a public school, that would be cool with you, since thats part of our southern heritage?

Key word- Tollerant. Did this student show tollerance? Or did he make a knee-jerk decision based on (likely biased and *possibly* racially charged) upbringing. What happens when the American Soccer players (who happen to be of Mexican heritage) @ Dalton High school in GA want to rep a Mexican flag in the loccer room during the world cup. Or should they simply root for the USA or go home??
