That's what America has always been though? The whole point of the melting pot was to strip immigrants of their identity and assimilate them.
But even that was bullshit. Culture in the US changes rapidly across time, and takes influence not just from immigrants but from trends among the youth and international trends. It's a rapidly moving target.
Besides which, immigrants from all walks actively try to assimilate and integrate themselves into the larger community, where natural born citizens actively rebel against the culture of their parents when they become tweens or teens.
The culture war is and has always been contrived by ownership-class-owned media, including television evangelists and megachurches. Jerry Falwell turned fundamentalist Christianity into a voting bloc, got Reagan elected in 1980 by a landslide, and the culture war was on.
