Remember I live in the Southwest where we do not have 'ethnic' Anglo (non Hispanic White) areas. All of us are lumped together.

They would say he started speaking fluent English 5 minutes off the boat and wouldve already been trying to 'downplay' his Italianess.
He learned to speak English by watching t.v. and attending class where ENGLISH WAS THE ONLY LANGUAGE SPOKEN....

Unlike today where our educational system panders to every socio-ethnic minority around.

You so called "immigrants" of today think you got it bad? You haven't gone through half of what the LEGAL immigrants of my father's generation went through. So please, stop calling everyone a "racist" that opposes illegal immigration. You are insulting our high intelligence.

Other cop: "Sir, I pulled you over because you were driving erratically. Your eyes look a little bloodshot; have you been drinking ?"

Motorist: "Certainly not !....YOUR eyes look a little GLAZED...have you been eating donuts ?"....

1. I'm not an "immigrant of today"
2. I have not been calling everyone who opposes illegal immigration racist.

Dont make yourself look like an idiot by jumping to conclusions like so many on here.
