Second off, there is a huge difference between the immigrants of 100 years ago and today. My great-grandparents came from Italy in 1923. They went through the same crap all the other Italians did. But there is the thing. Immigrants back then wanted to be a part of America, be a part of the land of opportunity. Now, immigrants want to act like they are in greater Mexico or China or Japan or whatever. We are a country that absorbs other cultures and creates our own.

Gee thanks for the clarification Vince. I havent 'read' a dictionary in a while, oh hell, in fact never. I usually refer to a dictionary.
Let me try & understand what you're saying. So you believe that the your ancestors were good immigrants who integrated quickly & contributed to their new loving nation?

You mean the italians picked up english pretty quickly? They didnt form little italys or subcultures within the U.S.? They didnt speak Italian to their children? You should read a bit more often. Yeah those funny looking symbols on curiously flat & thin smashed up wood is called writing.
I believe that in an earlier post you made it sound as if you're against racism & bigotry.
