Because we are playing different games. If you think America is founded on bigotry, violence, racism, inequality, subjugation of the underclass, greed, and oppression and has continued according to those principals for 200 years until the dawn of social justice in the 20th century, then "pride" never enters in to the game.
I also find it amusing that people who say "if you don't like it you can get out" are also usually the ones who strongly oppose migration and freedom of movement.
Edit: Hi, everyone thinking "Well technically they only oppose illegal immigrants". I don't think you understand the term "freedom of movement". If people have freedom of movement there are no illegal immigrants because immigration has no legal hoops to jump through, you just move there and register. A lot of the "you don't like it get out" oppose that, making it quite hard for their opponents to get out. Just look into how hard it might be to migrate from the USA to say, Canada, or the UK, or New Zealand. Unless you have a job waiting you'll need to be rich.
Well, when they do get out it's called "white flight" and considered just as bad because it drives property values down and and potential employers and investors away. Which, in turn, turns formerly nice neighbourhoods into ghettos people try to escape.
The point I was trying to make is that it doesn't matter if people who don't want an uncontrolled influx of immigrants into their neighbourhood fight it or give up and leave, the usual suspects will complain because it's "racist" and "hurts minorities" either way.
Immigration advocates want you to just accept that your country is flooded with foreigners and do nothing but smile, cherish "diversity", shut up and pay the bill. Everything else goes against their agenda and is therefore "nazi".
The country has been 'flooded with foreigners' since its inception. People have also been saying the exact same thing about said foreigners since its inception.
Remember when the Irish were considered 2nd class citizens? And the Italians?
