MANY WHITE AMERICANS FAIL TO ASSIMILATE 1. Some self-segregate in homogeneous neighborhoods Gated community with sigh saying Caucasian Pointe, no trespassing 2. Others fly the flag of a foreign country Pickup truck flying Confederate flag blasting 'AND THIS BIRD YOU CANNOT CHANGE' with caption reading 'traditional folk music' 3. Many refuse to speak contemporary English. Scowling woman: Seems like the homos and orientals are everywhere! 4. Will these stubborn holdouts ever integrate into our multiracial society? Younger brown guy pointing to old white guy in MAGA hat and Trump t-shirt: It might help if they stopped wearing those funny hats.
