Ead the following excerpt from gary soto’s story "like mexicans." my grandmother gave me bad advice and good advice when i was in my early teens. for the bad advice, she said that i should become a barber because they made good money and listened to the radio all day. “honey, they don’t work como burros,” she would say every time i visited her. she made the sound of donkeys braying. “like that, honey! ” for the good advice, she said that i should marry a mexican girl. “no okies, hijo”—she would say— “look, my son. he marry one and they fight every day about i don’t know what and i don’t know what.” for her, everyone who wasn’t mexican, black, or asian were okies. the french were okies, the italians in suits were okies. . she lectured me on the virtues of the mexican girl. what inference can be made about the grandmother’s point of view in this excerpt? she is eager to assimilate herself and her family into mainstream american culture. she is unwilling to embrace any aspect of multiculturalism because she detests american culture. she wants to preserve her family’s mexican culture even though she no longer lives in mexico. she believes that marrying an “okie” is equivalent to ruining any prospects of financial success.

The correct answer is "She is unwilling to embrace any aspect of multiculturalism because she detests American culture."

The grandmother is not mainly concerned with the preservation of family’s Mexican culture because marrying someone outside of one's race or ethnic group does not necessarily mean that the family of the Mexican spouse will cease to be Mexican, only that it will not only be Mexican. American multiculturalism goes both ways, Americans accept the cultural differences of minority groups and minority groups embrace American culture and infuse it with their own cultural contributions. American multiculturalism is supposed to accept all cultures both the minority culture and the majority culture. Rejection of it goes against one of the basic tenets of multiculturalism: that all cultures are valuable and all are equally important.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
