I've noticed that people here in the US will refer to themselves as German or Irish or where ever their ancestors came from instead of just referring to themselves as American.

Has it always been this way, or have things changed?

Women voting took away our cultural identity

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Nah, people who don't earn anything took away your identity. Imagine, jobless students, or people on welfare voting. Most of them are fucking idiots. In the past only land owners voted, and that meant only (relatively) smart people voted. Giving the vote to every lazy idiot fucked things up. But they wanted it to be this way.

Mass migration plus a massive 50-year campaign in the schools and in mass media to acculturate people of European extraction.

Absolutely did . My city went from a pleasant , clean , 85+% White demographic place , to something like a Central American slum.

Trash everywhere. Traffic laws universally ignored , and demographics around 30% White. In short , the city has become a shit hole in the space of 40 years

Has it always been this way

No, but it was that way for a long time in the Northeast. Italian, Irish, and French-Canadians are more clannish. The were brought into work in the mills and cities and lived in ethnic neighborhoods, with gangs and all that. In other parts of the country it wasn't done at all in the 20th century, though it probably is now.
