About this ebook

This collection gathers stories from a variety of US subcultures, inviting the reader to ponder the connections and conflicts between them. From long-standing canonical authors to newly recovered ones, each story in this volume marks another intersection of cultures in the ‘melting pot’ of the United States. The introductions of each story shed light on the complexity of experience that produced each one, and invite the reader to consider whether a cultural melt is possible or desirable, and what forms that melt may take.

Let’s not turn America into a “s---hole” Ep. 182: The political class is deliriously and sanctimoniously virtue-signaling against Trump’s alleged comments about immigrants from s---hole countries. In this episode, we demonstrate how both liberal and “conservative” pundits have no sense of context or historical background about our immigration system. It doesn’t matter so much where people come from, but our current immigration system is turning America into a s---hole for the rest of the world. Also, while origin doesn’t inherently matter, it’s undeniable that our entire immigration system has become insanely weighted towards the third world. We delve into all the census data — from crimes rates, education, and English proficiency to poverty and welfare use — and it’s quite evident that under a true merit system, we would have more immigrants from Europe and South Asia than from other places. This is not to say we can’t have any immigrants from those other countries, but it is unfair
