By now, government is also rubbing us the wrong way. Debilitating changes are being legislated without our consent, and certainly without our participation. More recent arrivals to our shores, seem to be more culturally bound than past participants in America's formation. They display outwardly abrasive attitudes, and resist normal entrance into mainstream American culture. As a result, they have made themselves targets of apprehension and prejudice.
Polarization grows stronger.
They insist upon solving social ills by mandate. I do not believe that racism is at the core of resenting different, increasingly populous, cultural incursions. What I do believe, is that Americans resent the latest citizenry's outspoken defiance of established mainstream practices. Brazenly pushing to alter the fabric of a successful American society, they instigate combative actions. Rather than putting out the fire, government exacerbates the problem by funding the abnormal.
