"America's core culture has primarily been the culture of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century settlers who founded our nation....Throughout our history, people who were not white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants have become Americans by adopting America's Anglo-Protestant culture and political values. This benefited them and it benefited the country. Millions of immigrants and their children achieved wealth, power, and status in American society precisely because they assimilated themselves into the prevailing culture." (AMERICAN ENTERPRISE) This article is an excerpt from Samuel Huntington's book Who Are We? in which he discusses why the "Americanization" of immigrants is still important to maintaining a national identity and explains how the failure to assimilate could end up dividing the nation.
