America is the most diverse nation in the world. Our ethnicity, religion, life experience, etc., makes each of us unique. Ideas our nation once embraced about assimilation are now inappropriate and outdated. “For someone who lives on the margins to assimilate into a single idea of acceptance to fit into society” (oeeo.psc.gov, 2008) is a gross violation of their individual identity and rights. “This means that we all need to learn to accept what is different from us and respect it.” (Anderson, 2003, 110)
