I was deeply moved by this speech. This country represents more than the daft politics and prejudice blinding people to immense ignorance. It angers me when some people label what is ‘American’, believing that being white, playing sports, or eating hot dogs or watching ‘Wizard of Oz’ is more American than whatever someone else does( My freshman year English teacher). Being Chinese, ethnically, I still deeply ascribe myself to be American. Not because I've been steadily inundated with daily pledges or propaganda, but because I truly think that in such a heterogeneous world, a country that represents the ideals of an equal liberty and pursuit of happiness for all humans is truly a blessing to have. America has its terrible flaws, but its greatest flaw would have been its non-existence.
