Re: 'Caucasian' work better?

But this isn't open ground. This is a stolen country to begin with, with a reputation for enslaving people. Even today. It's just now our own people.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with the hospital covering their own ass. I mean, if you just look at it that way, it's a corporate thing and not a pesonal attack. because it's not. It's covering their own ass. Then, if someone sues, it's not on them but others.

But why should we concentrate on being Americans? I don't understand that. I'm native/welsh, born in america and practice witchcraft with roman and egyptian beliefs. Yes, I'm American but I see no reason to focus on being part of a culture that I dislike. I work to change it, truthfully. Perhaps that's why I see no reason to force others to be part of it.

There isn't a we. Even in other countries there is no true we. Irish Protestants against Catholics. Japanese males against women. It happens in every country. There are lines. People want an identity. They want to feel as if they have something that is theirs. Embracing their culture is very often something people do to stay true to themselves.

You're holding what the CORPORATION wants against the people. This isn't some black person telling you to understand them. Or a Japanese man upset you didn't bow right. It's a company, a highly susceptable insurance backed company, covering their ass. An American is not likely to sue because a flag wasn't waved in their face or some shit.
