there's no hyphen in france as there is in america. you can be african-american, german-american, whatever. and so there's a different model, and that's what they're struggling with in europe now, is this idea that they've let too many outsiders in, that they liked having guest workers in germany, but they wanted the turks to go home after they, you know, served their 15 years or so. and that's, it's a very different model. and i think for americans it's not a big deal, diversity. we like it, we like all the ethnic food. i mean, that's what's wonderful about it. a lot of us, for instance, in new york -- i grew up in colorado, and that's what i came to new york for, was the diversity. >> can i add something, though, that that's the good side. there's also a dark side. that in your chapter on diversity and its discontent we recall in the united states the marginalization, the attacks on various minority religions or minority groups starting with the right after the revolution with the french and the passage of the alien and sedition act.
