Every past immigrant wave generation took slack. It could be that they didn't have ambulance chasers to sue those who called them a ethnic centered name or barred them from sitting in a certain part of the bus.

As a child while playing hockey on the reservation, I would always be amazed that those around me had believed that they belonged to a different nation with different rules. I just looked at them as fellow brothers of the Turtle. Oh well. I guess being a biscuit was more important to them rather than being a fellow man of the land.

Ahh, the beauty of man and his perchance to form groups to protect himself.

A wise observation. Grandfather on my mother's side came from Ireland...his proudest day was when he became a naturalized citizen of the USA...
