First off, I think that's a really great title!
This article begins with the story of a small town in which the vice mayor thought it would be nice to have many different country's flags in a parade, along with the United States; flag, at the town's 4th of July parade, which of course did not end well.
Our country is one that is, for reasons unclear, awfully sensitive and super protective of anything as "American" as our flag. We want to arrest anyone who vandalizes our flag, or says anything negative about our country; either you love the good ol' U.S of A. or you're a terrorist.
Sometimes I understand why the rest of the world looks at us the way they do, and I really don't blame them.
The second article, newspaper diversity report, talks about what exactly is a "minority," now that more and more numbers of said "minorities" are ever-increasing in this country. The percent of blacks and Hispanics will soon outweigh that of the white majority.
Speaking of minorities, it also talks about minorities in the workroom. While,yes, I believe in diversity, I don't think companies should hire people "of color" just so they can show that they employ people "of color." That's dumb.
