CAN WE STOP THE PANDERING ALREADY? WE AREN'T STUPID!

But now that we're thinking about it, we do love pizza. In fact, it's one of the few things my kids will consistently eat so thank you Italy. Also, the Godfather was a phenomenal movie that spawned so many quotable one-liners so we thank Italian Americans for that too. After all, who doesn't love a good "rostirante" where we can eat spaghetti and listen to mandolin music? And nothing is more charming than swarthy peasants squashing grapes for a fantastic cup of vino. Right, Vinny?

It's about time that we stop the racial pandering in this country. We can't continue to reduce diverse cultures into a single group in hopes that they'll vote for our lousy political agendas. Americans aren't stupid. And neither are the cultures that feed into it. Yeah, we're different in some ways. But guess what? We are all more similar to one another than to any other animal on this planet or our known universe so let's move on from allowing political ideologies to continue dividing us based on our languages, gender, orientation, identity, religion, race, or culture.

When identity politics are weaponized by both political parties, the division it creates only hurts us, and that's what they want because Honest Abe had one thing right: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." And if we can't stand on our own that means we have to rely on them and they maintain their grip on power.

Stay human. That's what we all are. But pizza is still good.
