>>17855696Why do you believe that 1950s culture was somehow disassociated from the older Anglo-American culture rather than just an evolution (yes, with new influences) of it? I mean the 50s ideal was very Northeastern WASPy, and mostly signaled the Old Stock triumph over the Ellis Island stock, ergo, it was the culmination of their Americanization and acceptance of middle class WASP norms; by the 50s the ethnic ghettoes had turned into English speaking suburbs.
>How exactly would you propose reviving the old stock culture and people? Kick out the Ellis Islanders?No, obviously not. Most of those "Ellis Islanders" are so intermixed that they have colonial DNA too, as you yourself admitted. I'd just do what the elites did from the 1900s-1950s. A moratorium on immigration, change immigration laws to only be from culturally compatible countries (read: the rest of the Anglosphere with exceptions made for marriages), and culturally emphasize the idea of American as a specific ethnicity tied to our history, with cultural emphasis on Americanization of surnames, de-emphasizing hyphenated Americanism, de-emphasizing ethnic parades etc.
