I realize that some of what I mentioned is less significant in the modern context but I was also paraphrasing over two hundred years of history. I'd be interested to hear why you feel that America's early embrace of multiculturalism, compared to its contemporaries at the time, was not significant enough to be noteworthy. Your points about world war 2 aren't without merit but that's also why I acknowledged them as well. Further, I'm not sure I understand what you feel mentioning the petro dollar really adds to the conversation when the point of that comment was to highlight that the US and China are both considered global powers despite the different paths they took, culturally, to obtain the accolade. It's certainly not insignificant as far as giving a thorough explanation of the ways by which America entrenched and maintains influence in the modern context, but that also wasnt the topic I was speaking to.
