Ethnic pride is a very good thing. America is one of the places which
most reveres the distinctive ethnic, racial, religious heritage of our
various peoples. The days when immigrants felt compelled to Anglicize
their last name or deny their heritage are, thankfully, gone. But pride in
one's ethnic and racial heritage must never become an excuse to withdraw
from the larger American community. That does not honor diversity; it
breeds divisiveness. And that could weaken America. -- Bill Clinton
