If you're painting this picture with as broad of a brush as it sounds like you are then you sound like nothing more then a back-woods hillbilly.
Lol you should go move right into Fallujah and tell ISIS you aren't assimilating. Or even to Saudi Arabia...tell them you aren't assimilating and you will drink all the booze you want because you don't agree with the Muslim culture (which happens to be their law). Or to Singapore, and tell them you are free to spit in the streets because culturally it's ok for you. Our laws exist, and other cultures and countries have laws that exist that sometimes clash with outsiders' cultures. You don't just show up somewhere, plant yourself and your culture, and live happily ever after. That is not how life works. I don't care if we have a "global economy." Cultural (and language) barriers exist within borders. And within borders there are specific laws. Another example, if you aren't convinced. In some countries, honor killings are ok. And female genital mutilation. And rape. That is culturally ok. Is it ok for them to bring that culture to America, or should they have to assimilate and obey the law of the land?
