Mall Blog - Comments On American Diversity

Once in a great while, I like to post from the mall. It serves two purposes - it permits me to lord my extraordinarily high state of personal technological prowess over you, and it empowers me to comment immediately about that which I see nearly in the instant I have seen it.

Today, amidst the sea of impressively displayed flesh (I'm sorry - did every father die and I just didn't hear about it?), I elected to get dinner from Renzio's, the excellent Greek food chain in the food court of the fashionable Park Meadows Mall, and I noticed that the usual assemblage of, well, Greeks, was not present. Everybody serving me was an Hispanic. Looking to the side, I saw that Edo, the Japanese restaurant, was staffed entirely by Hispanics as well. Everywhere in the food court, Hispanics fill the labor roles in the food industry, working hard, long hours, producing excellent Pastichio, shakes, Tempura, and Chinese food. It amazes me to see the tremendous diversity of culture this nation successfully hosts, and I am proud to belong to an open, tolerant democracy that empowers folks of such markedly different backgrounds to live peacefully with one another.

Do you think a theocratic totalitarian regime like what existed in Afghanistan (until its recent deposition, that is) would permit such intermixing of cultures?

We are clearly strong as a result of our diversity. I say this because I believe in the promise of America. I don't support the flagrant disobedience of our laws by illegal aliens, but I do admire the work ethic of legal workers and the apparent desire by many to contribute the the fabric of American life.

Just some observations from the Park Meadows Mall.

Living in such a relatively small area as I do, we end up with quite a bit of diversity ourselves. My department alone has already hired several Nigerians, Australians, South Africans, and Eastern Europeans (if it ends in an "a" we got one). They are usually our best and hardest workers. They also provide a great flavor to the resort experience.

We also have a huge illegal immigrant problem in my little valley as well. The multi-million dollar homes that are being constructed with illegals payed under the table, the cleaning of these homes by illegals also payed with cash drive down the prices for such services. You can see what is going on around the country in microcosm up here.

The illegals have also brought a lot of criminal problems. Drugs and property crimes have been on a steady increase here even though they are not talked about (gotta preserve the image to get the tourists). Gangs have also been on the increase, including the notorious MS-13, as you can see from this link.

All in all, this is still one of the best places to live in America and I'm not going to leave. Just like on a larger stage, America is the best place to live in the world and nobody is leaving it, just take a look at all the leftist that threatened to and didn't.

Ohh, God, not MS-13! Those guys are the worst bunch of low-life shitheels on the planet, no better than the Islamofascist punks that kill children.

They seem to prefer engaging in criminal acts upon other gangs, and don't seem to be really interested in personal crimes outside their twisted worlds, but as with all criminals, these salad days never last.
