First, there was the tea party, they looked like Patriots (old angry white guys). Now, there's the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) crowd (young angry white guys).We are a nation of immigrants, but we've forgotten that. Some of us want the future, want progress, want inclusion, multi ethnicity.
In my house growing up, shadows of the Old World still lingered. My Austrian grandparents liked pigs feet, which I have to admit to this day I have never tried. My mom would allow me to eat macraroni on such nights.. Does that make me spoiled? Or an American ready for the New World.
And what are the tea party and OWS crowds trying to hang onto? Why does it seem like a white America?
