Ethnically-challenged

QUASI-POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE UNABLE TO CONFORM TO A HOST COUNTRY’S NORMS -- I.E. UNABLE TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE, THE SOCIAL CUSTOMS/MANNERS, OR OBSERVE THE LAWS OF THE LAND -- THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY PREVALENT IN ‘HYPHENATED-AMERICANS’ WHO AS EITHER ETHNIC OR CULTURAL MINORITY GROUPS FEEL THAT THERE PRIVILEGED STATUS MAKES THEM EXEMPT FROM FITTING IN -- AS OPPOSED TO THE ‘MELTING POT’ THEORY TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS UP TO THE 1980s (WHERE EACH PART OF OUR SOCIETIES MAKE UP BROUGHT SOME FLAVOR TOGETHER TO THE STEW) WE ARE NOW IN A CLIMATE OF ‘RAINBOW DIVERSITY’ WHERE EACH COLOR IS BESIDE EACH OTHER BUT DISTINCT AND SEPERATE.
