A pendulum is a good analogy here, its a pity that it just doesn't hang somwhere in the middle. I think much more relevant today though in the USA are the Hispanics. This is the fastest growing population there and cities such as LA and Miami to name just two are predominantly Spanish speaking. What sort of rights do they have, considering many are treated as cheap labour.
