>How many generations does it take before you say someone is woven into the fabric of a nation? 10? 100?
It's a good question but it's not really reflective of my focus. I'm more concerned about the integrity and preservation of a nation and the people through whom it will continue to live. As I've said I beleive the ethnos is the fundamental thing which defines a nation. I don't think an amera with 100% Indians for example, is going to be anything like an America that's existed at any point in history, in anything but name. Having said this, everything you said was your "civic view" was not, at least as I understood it, mutually exclusive to my view at all so I wasn't sure what you meant, I too beleive in the importance of recognizing distinctions, I fail to see how it relates to the conversation.
>We always were. You're the one who denounced her as a Scot. So it was always about what that label means, and how you process it.
This is getting a bit autistic but that wasn't the crux of my posts, it's deviating from my point, and now it's just getting silly.
