I don't understand why so many of you here throw fits over ethnic churches. I'm a Serb born to Serb parents, and I currently reside in the US. When I go to church, I don't want to hear people speaking English there. I don't want to hear the priest reading in English. It is a SERBIAN-AMERICAN church first and foremost, established for the Serb Orthodox community in this area. I consider myself a Serb and an American at the same time, sort of how a lot of previous European immigrants saw themselves before their communities here were absolutely destroyed by instituting English as the primary language within their own self-contained communities. When I am out and about, I speak English. When I am at home and church (extended home), around relatives, or around other fellow Serbian-speakers, I expect to speak nothing but Serbian.

I don't have anything against English, and I certainly don't have anything against Americans who speak English coming to our church. You are free to become Orthodox, and you are free to attend church. What you are not free to do is usurp a position of authority within the SERBIAN-AMERICAN church if you don't speak Serbian. If you can't speak Serbian, I'll speak English with you. I have NOTHING against Americans or English. I respect a lot of Americans I've met a LOT more than fellow Serbs. Language is tied to behavior, and it's tied to how we perceive one another. The Serbian language has a lot of things attached to it that do not spring forth in the mind when using English instead, and vice versa.

I think the greatest disaster that befell Polish-Americans, Italian-Americans, German-Americans, etc. is the loss of their native language that they brought over from the old world. This has led to "muh 15% Polish" idiocy we see today. If you loved your ancestry and your roots so damn much, why did you give up your old language? Why not speak both? Ethnic communities with strong roots and a love of their native language and appreciation of their old world culture brought forth into the new are ideal. I love Americans as individuals, but I think they really wet the bed with the melting pot idea. I'm not a fan of it and never have been, even between European peoples, so don't accuse me of being /pol/.

I'd like to know why you some of you are so hostile towards this? I know it's an unfeasible prospect, because all immigrants tend to assimilate due to economic pressure or whatever else, but by God my children will speak my language as long as I'm alive.

Why not retain the old world cultures, languages, and traditions while embracing a new identity at the same time? It seems that most immigrants who settled here just gave up on their history and decided to blend in for convenience. This led to the original Anglo descendants mixing with them and creating the crisis of identity and muh heritage memes we see today.

It's laughable and pompous that you think that you are an exception to the general trend that has affected MILLIONS of people. Perhaps your native tongue will be passed on a few generations or more, but it will eventually slip away. You are no exception, get over yourself.

You can look to the America's own history and the Balkans as to why ethnic chauvinism is generally frowned upon in America.

If you and your family wish to preserve Serbian culture, then go back to Serbia, or bring something new to the American consciousness from your own culture, that's been the way.

American immigrants don't need your pity, they knew exactly what they were giving up to leave behind their homeland in search of something that America had to offer, unlike you.

Yes, you are projecting your current view of White back onto the past of America, when they did not have the same definition of White. Anglo-Saxons clearly did not think that Irish were of the same stock as other Whites. This should be common knowledge by now.

Irish were literally called "tiggers turned inside out" and blacks were called "smoked Irish" as well. It was well-known that Irish even referred to themselves as a "race" set apart from other white ethnicities in both Britain and America. Look at books like "Comparative Physiognomy: or, Resemblances Between Men and Animals" to see an example of the different attitude towards Irish, who are identified physiognomically with dogs whereas Anglo-Saxons were identified with Lions. The argument that Irish were only treated differently because they were poor also fails as only 10% of Irish immigrants were laborers, whereas as much as 25% were artisans, according to immigration records.

To be fair, many non-English European racial scientists of the time did see Irish as White, however, they did not see other ethnicities you've said in this thread are White (going off the boundaries of Europe) as being so, such as Finns, Hungarians, and Estonians.

You simply assume that Whites are considered the same thing we are now, which is a ridiculous assumption to make, and you didn't provide any evidence of it. My point in saying all of this is that the boundaries you've defined as White now are not what they have always been. Your definition of White as being all Europeans is false.

>All of Europe are the white nations. Provide for me your alternative reading of Acts 17:26

Let us look at the original Greek text, or more specifically, the important part:

<And hath made of one blood all nations (ἔθνος) of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

The Greek word ἔθνος does not describe a "race" as you would define it. It is where the word "ethnicity" comes from, and it was used in the first century to refer to a specific tribe, for example, someone like the Dacii, Getae, etc. The word ethnos did not mean race because the concept of a pan-ethnic race was simply not held at this time period. The Church Fathers also do not have a concept of race, but the same concept of ethnoi, or tribes.

I have no objection to a state which wants to remain majority their own ethnicity, I am not some kind of anti-European shill, but the concept of a pan-racial state is not the same thing. I believe the nation should be founded on a single ethnicity. This is the same attitude that right-wing European political parties have as well, I have many friends from many European countries and I have asked them all if there is a strong pan-White consciousness among right wingers, but they have all told me there is none, for Polish nationalists wish nothing to do with the Germans, or whatever. It is an American mindset that came about only after the Civil War which finally turned America into a country which would be a "White nation", whatever that means, where people from any "White" country would be considered equal worth. Even after this point, Irish, Italians, Hungarians, Finns, etc. were still called "White ethnics" and held to a lesser standard than Anglo-Saxons. My point in saying all of this isn't to discredit true nationalism, but to say that nationalism should be along ethnic, not racial, lines, as was the view for most of history. Race and ethnicity are not the same thing, though they are closely related.

Awful post. Don't try to stuff words into my mouth. You think ethnic conservation is automatic chauvinism, but it's not. There are Amish communities here that speak German and they seem to be doing very well. Trying to say I'm being pompous because I don't want to discard my family history in exchange for convenience is laughable. What does the modern American consciousness offer that would lead me to do such a thing? All I see here is the loss of history in exchange for an economic dream. I'll keep my family intact and participate in the market when necessary, sir. I do wonder why you are very upset. Keep on kvetching I guess.

Which concordance do you use?

>Anglo-Saxons clearly did not think that Irish were of the same stock as other Whites. This should be common knowledge by now

literally a "we wuz kangs" tier argument

They were obviously viewed as white since they were allowed to immigrate under a "whites only" policy

Physiognomy is a 19th century pseudoscience and not relevant to US founder's legal definitions of the races

>You simply assume that Whites are considered the same thing we are now, which is a ridiculous assumption to make, and you didn't provide any evidence of it.

This isn't even an argument, just mere assertion

You have still not provided the alternative view of what should be considered white, or adequately demonstrated that our view is different from the founders'

>It is an American mindset that came about only after the Civil War which finally turned America into a country which would be a "White nation", whatever that means, where people from any "White" country would be considered equal worth.

That was the point of including the text of the 1790 naturalization act (71 years before the civil war)

The meme about comparative value of the races is unironically a jewish D&C tactic against the whites

It sounds like your idea is to use a smaller group than "the white race" as the basis for forming a nation, and that's a fair idea, but the term "ethnicity" is not the right term

It looks like you didn't even read your own document. The Naturalization Act of 1790 allowed "free white men" to be naturalized, that is, become citizens, not immigrate.

>Physiognomy is a 19th century pseudoscience and not relevant to US founder's legal definitions of the races

Do you have a single fact to back that up

>This isn't even an argument, just mere assertion

You didn't address my proof from racial scientists in the 19th century who identified Hungarians, Finns, Estonians, etc. as nonwhite

>You have still not provided the alternative view of what should be considered white, or adequately demonstrated that our view is different from the founders'

Even if we grant everything you say and assume the Founders had the same definition of White as us, which the onus is actually on YOU to prove, because YOUR argument began and simply assumed it without ANY evidence whatsoever, it would not matter for my argument. Again, let's say they were White, they were still not treated the same; what do you think the whole "White ethnic" term was used for? They were certainly seen as white after the Civil War, but they were not afforded the same equality as WASPs.

Let me talk about your point on ethnos

>Which concordance do you use?

Liddell & Scott Greek-English Lexicon identifies ethnos not with race but with tribes/ethnicities.

Every other Greek-English lexicon and dictionary I've found does not identify it with race, except for one, and that's Strong's lexicon, which says the term can refer to a race. Furthermore, many Greek writers use the term ethnos, including people like Aristotle and Thucydides, but they never use it to refer to a pan-White race but rather a tribe. Ask any Greek historian about the meaning of the word and he can tell you.

I'm not going to bother arguing any more about whignat BS because you simply throw things out as "D&C shilling" without any evidence or citations of your own to back it up. Read the Fathers of the Church and see what they identified ethnos as, they never once refer to it as being race but as being tribes, I would strongly encourage you to take their teaching into account, as it is the ancient tradition of the Church. God bless

>Do you have a single fact to back that up

The book you referenced was from 1852

>the Founders had the same definition of White as us, which the onus is actually on YOU to prove,

The US had a white only policy, several times restated (1802, 1906), that was only explicitly reversed in 1965 under the lie sold to the public that the new policy would not upset the racial demographics of the US

See, my problem is I'm from Texas. By modern standards, that makes me American, but there was a brief time when Texas was a Confederate State and before that it was its own Republic. My family was in Texas before it was a Republic, when it was part of Mexico. So, am I Mexican? But wait! Before it was Mexico, it was owned by Spain since all the way back in the 1530s. Prior to that it was a confederated treaty between the Caddo and Comanche called "Tejas".

So, I don't understand. If I have to "go back", do I have to go back all the way to my ancient ancestors in Denmark? Or do we go more recent and I have to go to Spain or Mexico? This whole "nation" thing is awfully confusing.

Truly an incredible amount of faggotry your spewing at op simply because he wants to preserve some of his heritage.

There is very little "American" Identity to go around anon. People here try define themselves by their favorite tv show, what top 40 song they like and there state NFL team. Every cultural aspect here is provided by a corporation. Its fake, and a its something to be sold. Very little of it actually springs up from within real communities. But when it does, its usually religious. And your first instinct is to stamp it out out because it offends your Boomer Ideals of what it means to be American.

Guess what, the "melting pot" is a false premise. This entire country is testament to the failure of multiculturalism. Most people want to feel connected to their history and their people.

you absolutely did not have a Dane ancestor in the Texas territory from before the RoT

The area was almost entirely uninhabited, but claimed by spain. Spain allowed the Austin family to lead the old 300, and when they began Mexico declared independence so they were settling Mexican land. White settlement grew, we warred for independence, became a nation with the express intent of joining the US, then joined the US

you also left out France in your timeline

The point is that the land rightfully belongs to the whites who settled it

The indians did NOT govern the area, that treaty was arranged by Texians. The Caddo do have a legitimate claim to land though since they were the only non-nomadic tribe

If the country only consisted of euro-slavs I think peaceful co-existance could be achieved, maybe even some form of real integration. But were way beyond that point now. Too many groups competing for dominance. Mexicans will soon be the racial majority due to birth rates, and all bets are off after that for the future of the country. I dont think I've ever met an Orthodox mexican.

There are still the disenfranchised wasp and catholic American's that do convert to Orthodoxy, it's not in mass, but it's happening especially thanks to Antiochian and OCA parishes. An American Orthodoxy that doesn't compromise is the future of Orthodoxy in this country, and the coming balkanization of America is a greater reason why Orthodox Christians need to stick together whether greek, russian, or anglo

>A pre-independence ethnic group is the same as a third worlder coming two hundred years later and refusing to assimilate

It's obvious I'm not talking about German, French or Irish cultures here, anyway.
