Show me a 1st generation developer(not born in USA) who has preserved something historical, Historic-worthy, or an American Icon and I'll stand corrected(Even if that is not the majority represented).

I'm sorry, but ethnicity does play a role under this topic, as well as the afore mentioned examples that were listed. I don't dictate what ethnicity is to take what job role in life, but I am not afraid to call it out when it becomes patterned.
When the same ethnicity groups follow the same type business ethics/practices, that becomes a pretty solid pattern to me. It is also enough grounds to call out, especially when it is a type of "erasing" destruction.

I also do not believe any part of what I've stated about Mr. Nazarian is false. If it is, please feel free to correct me.

Woofy, kind of off topic, but let me ask you this... What is the first thing that comes to mind ethnicity-wise, when someone talks about the Taliban?
Now, as that first image popped in your mind, you do understand that there are/were white people from the U.S.A. involved and practicing with the Taliban, but yet 99% of population will still tie Terrorist groups like Taliban with being from the Middle East? This is really no different as when we speak on topic, we generally refer to the majority, and not the minority.

There is a heavy influx of first generation Middle Eastern Construction/Development corporations buying up and tearing down(or plan to tear down) potentially iconic landmarks or places of interest. This is pretty much irrefutable based on actions either already taken, or planned in the future, such as the Sahara. All those "=" signs you added are things you tied together, but not what I stated. Agree to disagree in my approach to the root, and sorry if it offended anyone. But I still stand by my original observations.
