It's time for English-Americans to assert their ethnic identity

My opponent is right: any English-American grouping would find it difficult to compete with the likes of the National Italian-American Association, which is an immensely powerful organisation that presumably enjoys the support of spaghetti tycoons, ice-cream barons, leather goods magnates and protection racketeers and receives funding from patrons in both the United States and Sicily. The Italian-Americans' high public profile may be why every other restaurant in America serves Italian food: there are 1,399 solely Italian restaurants in New York City alone; while there are no English restaurants at all - there aren't even any solely British restaurants in New York, just a few that are British and Irish, British and French, British and Asian, etc. (1,2) And it's probably the influence of the Italian-American power-brokers that's behind the US entertainment industry's decision to make so many Hollywood movies starring Italian-Americans: films such as Rocky, Fatso, Kiss Me Guido, I Love You To Death, Mac, True Love, My Cousin Vinny, Big Night, Marty and Moonstruck; and these are in addition to plethora of mafia films and all the great TV programmes that celebrate Italian-Americans and which are too numerous to list. Meanwhile, there are no big films or roles reserved for English-Americans, just bit parts such as the eccentric Higgins out of Magnum, the slightly dopey maid Daphne out of Frazier and the sinister baby Stewie out of Family Guy (please refer to embedded You Tube clips). And as far as films are concerned, there are no lead roles for English-Americans, just bit parts. Put it this way, if you are watching a Hollywood film and you want to know who the bad guy is, he's the one with the English accent. Clearly someone has to promote English-American talent? Similarly, Italian food is nothing special and doesn't deserve to be so popular. What's a pizza? Just a bit of unleavened bread with some tomato puree and cheese spread on top. Hardly haute cuisine is it? Nevertheless, Pizza Hut alone has around 5,600 store locations across America. (4) English cuisine, on the other hand, is wide and varied and delicious, yet largely ignored in the US. Here are some of the fabulous dishes Americans are missing out on: Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding . http://www.bbc.co.uk... Liver and bacon hotpot . http://allrecipes.co.uk... Oxtail stew . http://britishfood.about.com... Steak and kidney pudding . http://allrecipes.co.uk... Kedgeree . http://www.bbc.co.uk... Mulligatawny soup . http://allrecipes.co.uk... Shepherd's pie . http://www.bbc.co.uk... Seared scallops with black pudding . http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk... . http://www.bbc.co.uk... Fish ‘n' chips . http://www.jamieoliver.com... F-ggots in gravy (Please see final You Tube clip as the Internet link I wanted to provide included the word "f-aggot" which, for some reason, is considered a profanity on this site) With a little help, the Pizza Huts on American Main Streets of today could soon be replaced by the F-ggot Huts of tomorrow. I like my opponent's idea about establishing English-American schools to produce future politicians but there is a fundamental problem with that: American politicians are in the pockets of the Jews, who are by far the biggest political donors in the United States, and, unless they want to lose their funding, have to do the Jews' bidding (5,6). Furthermore, though Latvian-Americans have been able to establish posh schools in order to promote themselves in society, this was achieved with the assistance of the American Latvian Association (7), the equivalent of which English-Americans do not, but should, have.
