The rest of the country is also made of immigrants, if not their generation than one past. That includes white people, and that includes me, a white man.

Know your place as an American. This has always been a country made up of immigrants, a melting pot. To suggest otherwise is anti-American. Anti-americans like yourself feel welcome because of who is in the white house, but make no mistake: you do not belong here with those beliefs.

There are many, many countries which aspire to a boring white hegemony. Go there, be happy, leave the Americans alone.

It's not helpful to tell citizens to "know their place" and leave their country and claim that people of a given race are boring and call people who love America "anti-American".

On HN of all places.

I'm a white American, but my lineage, like yours, is one of immigrants. I did not come here on the mayflower, and neither did you.

You do not love America. You love what you wish America would be. But what America is, is a country composed of immigrants; a melting pot. It's been that way since our very conception and continued into the 20th century.

And, given you do not love what America is, perhaps you do not belong here, and that's fine. As I've stated, there's plenty of white hegemony countries available.

I mean, frankly, I don't know how you could possibly think that's ever been America. Because where I grew up, it was always colorful, from my earliest memories.

And, to be clear, this is a second person you. This applies to everyone who holds these deplorable anti-American beliefs.

You must truly live in that nice colorful bubble you mentioned. I bet CNN/MSNBC is running 24/7 in the background within it.

Yes, I must listen to CNN because I stand with the principles that formed this country and that provided us our prosperity. Please, get lost.
