"America is a nation of immigrants, built by immigrants. So, this new classification of "American" as a nationality is odd."

American Observer replies:

Are you joking? Immigrants have not formed a majority of American since the seventeenth century. Since that time, the majority of Americans have been native-born Americans; and it native-born majority who assimilated the children of the immigrants and made them into Americans. This is why American culture and identity are so cohesive -- cohesive enough for us to win a long string of wars, from Yorktown to Kuwait City.

The questions put to the panel are stupid and disturbing. America is a nation of immigrants, built by immigrants. So, this new classification of "American" as a nationality is odd.

Second, American films are the commercial end of the art of cinema, as the article above has distinguished. Iran is one example for the art of cinema as Iranian films and directors continue to win awards in festivals where the focus is on the art, rather than the glamour and commercial end of it.

Finally, the entertainment industry seems to lead the American society. That is also odd. Pop culture and the celebrity culture should be in its own place. That is how America has transformed itself, in the words of Lech Walesea of Polant, into a TELEVISIOCRACY!

"The world of arts and entertainment has long been a globalized affair. "

American Observer says:

I like to hear you say that. You have added a long list of foreign actors and creators who work in American movies, and a long list of foreign locations where American movies are shot. Since this is so, would you agree that American movies are completely 'globalized?' As you know, a lot of brutal dictatorships, such as Iran, Burma, China, Cuba, and North Korea, ban all or most American movies as a way to 'protect their culture' from American influence. Would you agree that Iran, Burma, China, Cuba, and North Korea should allow private companies to distribute any and all American movies in their countries as a way of exposing their people to 'world' culture? I think that would be wonderful!
