I think all of us grew up with grandparents or such who arrived in the
U.S. expecting to be part of the great melting pot that America
offered. Today, thoughts of merging have been replaced by ethnic
diversity. What ethnic divisions create is group hatred, one for
another. That's what is responsible for the crumbling of our society.
