@arsailor2341 Mixing causes friction, for sure. It also elevates. New ideas from different world views. America has always been "cultural appropriators" in a very cool way. Germans, Italians, Polish, Kenyan, Nigerian, Libyan, Persian, Shoshone, ... It's not all pretty. But in a free society, where the rights of all are protected, good things sort of percolate to the top. All we think about is how mean Euros were to Indigenous, but the indigenous wronged each other, too. None of that stuff was good, but indigenous values permeate American society and cultural mores.
Foods, music, art, ... Saxons versus Britons. Danes versus Saxons. All bad stuff. But better ideas on both sides had a way of persisting. People who are afraid of mixing forget that we are one species, with more variation within races than there is between races. Generalities dissolve when he likes her and she likes him.
