Asians were exploited and segregated for much of American history. They don't have this problem anymore. They assimilated.

Some people fear that Mexicans will become a majority in the southwest states and one day decide to return to Mexico or form an independent nation. Seems outlandish now, and I hope forever, but Quebec is proof that such a notion isn't impossible. And, Americans make it more likely by making our children learn Spanish instead of making them learn English.

It's not quite the same with blacks though, because while black people definitely have a distinct culture seperate from whites, and while this is, by and large, not a good thing, it's not the same kind of problem we will end up having with the Mexicans. Blacks may want their own culture, and some of them might like speaking a silly bastardized English just to be different, but they are still Americans and there is no possibility of a black seperatist movement.

Understable fear but not likely.Unlike Quebec these mexicans flocked somewhere else, Quebec was new france it was already established as French colony and state before those brits walked in infact it was reverse of what your saying, England tried more then once to invade New france, General Frontenac of france pulverized their arses and sent them back to England in shame in their first atempt,He built this huge ass castle in quebec city which is now a hotel and historical site. Trying to asimulate Quebec is like invading Norway or somthing and trying to asimulate it you cant toss away centuries of history and nationalism.

In canada you have to learn either english or french , So no you cant just imigrate and demaned to have everything in chinese.All of them are given courses to learn English when they arrive in B.C. Give the mexican legal imigrants courses in English as a requirement for imigrating and things will change.As for the Ilegals you either do the same for them or boot them out.

America never stole lands and anexed other countries ,The natives never were fully asimulated but you duped them into reserves thats just isolating and segregating.But they never had perminant settlements , Asimulating single imigrants is easy,But hole already established cultures who were their before you and built towns and villages, Had folklores and dances and a strong culture its not easy.

English wouldnt exist if things were differnet, Remeber the Anglo saxxons were scandinvian invaders who imigrated to britain and beat the shit out of the poor celts and they stole their land, Kind of like what Rome did.Those Anglos were the ancestors of the English, England tried to repress and asimulate the celts which is why Gealic is a dead language.But if you saw Braveheart such repression only fires them up more to rebel.
