he means integrate in the way french people mean it - i.e. you're allowed to integrate by renouncing everything about your former identity except your skin color, your name, and maybe your food
why don't they just drop the pretense and use the word assimilate?

Trump answers a class demand for justice, his answer is the wrong one, but it isn't surprising that outliers in a class disadvantaged position would take the bait. Supposedly lots of Chinese and Vietnamese expats were pro-Trump because they projected their agenda onto him as a strong leader - until he started courting Asian dictators.

Big Bird is a character on the children's television show Sesame Street. Officially performed by Caroll Spinney since 1969, he is an eight-foot two-inch (249 cm) tall bright primrose-yellow bird.[2] He can roller skate, ice skate, dance, swim, sing, write poetry, draw, and even ride a unicycle. But despite this wide array of talents, he is prone to frequent misunderstandings, on one occasion even singing the alphabet as one big long word (from the song called "ABC-DEF-GHI," pronounced /æbkədefgi:dʒekəlmɪnɒpkɔ:rstu:vwɪksɪz/), pondering what it could ever mean. He lives in a large nest behind the 123 Sesame Street brownstone and has a teddy bear named Radar.

In 2000, Big Bird was named a Living Legend by the United States Library of Congress.[3]

Do you have to say your ancestors nationality even if it doesn't matter?

Like my mother's parents were from Hungary and my Dad's grandparents were all from England, but who cares?
i think the difference here is that you say your grandparents were hungarian, whereas i would say i'm vietnamese(-american, hyphen not optional :unsmigghh:)

Thinking about White People metrics is reminding me of the time we did Secret Santa in LF and I mailed someone a no-joke full sized Barnes and Noble book cover artwork display--the kind they hand up near the juncture of the ceiling and walls. It was of a Thomas Friedman book but I can't remember which one.

Hell, drat and bitch are especially popular in the south and southeast. Douche is relatively common in northern states. Bastard is beloved in Maine and New Hampshire, and those states – together with a band across southern Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas – are the areas of particular motherfucker favour. Crap is more popular inland, gently caress along the coasts. Fuckboy – a rising star* – is also mainly a coastal thing, so far.
