このコンテンツについて
In this episode of American Constitutive Stories, Harris Mylonas and Andrew Thompson ask Román Acosta—a Mexican immigrant who lives in Evanston Illinois and works as an economic consultant—to share his understanding what it means to be an American. For Román, "The core group in America is White. I am not sure if it is Anglo-Saxon. I think it is Christian [...] I think being born in America helps a lot". When it comes to identifying an American Hero, according to Román, we should focus on heroic acts rather than heros. In this sense Barack Obama and Cesar Chavez stand out as American heroes for him. The former for his healthcare reform and the latter for his impact in California politics. Turning to the least common denominator that unites Americans, Román suggests that external enemies have traditionally united Americans and that without external enemies we tend to turn inwards "pointing fingers to who is less American". Ultimately, however, he believes that the "hope and the willingness to keep fighting" among Americans can definitely serve as a connective tissue.
