No history lesson needed here Eddie..... I am not referring in any way that immigrants do not and should not retain their heretage. My family has been able to do it for the last 3 decades. But we do not need to prance around all year long in lederhosen to retain that pride in our heretage....... I was actually called a communist when I was in kindergarten by THE TEACHER because I spoke german. Today the ATM asks me if I want instructions in english or spanish and all I can think of is... Duh?
But, do not want this to take on a racial hue so I will leave it at that, just explaining my thoughts probably a lot more than I should.....
