Plan B Forum

Next time your MAGA-leaning associate or co-worker starts talking about how America was settled and founded by Europeans, and how we should control immigration to protect and preserve the European culture that molded our principles, show 'em this —



— then step back and watch the melt down.

The United States does not have a European culture. What we have is a Western Judeo‑Christian culture influenced by the Enlightenment and a concern for individual rights. Some on the left consider American culture inferior to the cultures of the rest of the world.

Take Mexico, for example. Machismo is often viewed more positively there than in the United States, yet it reflects a stronger patriarchy. A while back, when the Mexican president was groped, the public outrage was not overwhelming but muted. Many people seemed to view it as an example of machismo, a Hombre being Muchacho.

India offers another example. Starvation among Aboriginal tribal people is common, largely caused by the loss of the forests they live in due to urban development and encroachment. And what is the response from much of the general population when the government tries to help these people? Outrage. In our country, that would be called racism, but there it is seen as a cultural difference.

So, does America really have an inferior culture?

Name two people who have expressed this viewpoint and provide word-for-word quotations that say so.
