        I would like to ask you to stop whatever else you are doing at the moment so you can think critically, and ask yourself “If Desantis signed this measure into effect then did Delray Beach being Democrat leaning add anything of value to this discussion?”. I’m not sure that’s the gotcha you may have expected that to be?

    So the hateful current in American politics turned on the irish? Oh no, if only there had been some precedent for that. Or maybe if the pragmatist current had warned anyone that hate was bad…

    DeSatan decreed thus. No more DEI, including DEIties like Jesus Christ! You’re only allowed to say Happy Holidays from now on!

    Amazing. Wouldn’t this law, in fact, prohibit local governments from funding Independence Day celebrations, since that is associated with American ethnicity?

          It’s primarily because the US was not designed to be tied to ethnicity (on paper) unlike most other countries at the time. Like The United Kingdom, it was a collection of peoples, not its own people. It’s like the difference between being British and being English. The former is a nationality that includes practically all subjects of the United Kingdom in the British isles, regardless of ethnicity, whereas English is an ethnicity from the Kingdom of England.

          No one’s ethnicity is American, your ethnicity is whatever you (or your family) were before you were American. Hence the temporarily PC term of ‘African American.’
