You're entitled to identify yourself as you see fit.
Given that truth, why can't everyone else?

Honestly, how is identifying the differences of others divisive?

I did not mean to suggest that you responded with inflammatory comments, I was trying to avoid any confusion about my own words, seeing as how it could be taken as the old "love it or leave it" remark that tends to send reasonable discusions spiraling down the drain.


How is it divisive? Gee, I don't know, we have minorities who say they want equality, who say skin color makes no difference, yet they insist on proclaiming themselves as being different from everyone else when they refuse to just simply say American. Do you want to be thought of as equals, or do you want to be thought of as different. Someone constantly reminding everyone that they are "different" is not going to speed along the equal rights movement by any means.
