And if you want to be specific, the majority of people living in this country are immigrants with a small minority being Native American. You can debate whether he should have displayed the Mexican flag all day long but every AMERICAN should be proud that he won the silver medal for the United States of America...
How offensive; everyone on this continent is a descendant of an immigrant. The people who you refer to as native are descendants of Asians, who immigrated across the Bering land bridge.Though a descendant of various European nationalities, I was born here and therefore a native American, and I have no more rights or privileges than those whose ancestors arrived after mine. American citizenship is not based on seniority.
There is only one American, and anyone who wishes to claim other is perpetuating a political correctness myth.
