 Yes, it seems that only 1 group has moved into America's ghettos and stayed there generation after generation.
The Irish etc. might have stayed there to if it got them the same type of preferential treatment.
This goes with that PM I sent some of you.

Speaking of glib off hand assertions....Remember we thought the same about the Irish in the mid 19th century. The Know Nothing Party came into being to protest anti-Irish and promote anti-Catholic views. I did some research on this and when you look at old editorial cartoons the Irish were portayed with negroid features They were not viewed socially as white, and seen as a threat to the republic as a result. This was doubled because anti-Catholic feelings feared that they would be loyal to the Pope, not the government.
Guess what? They assimilated. To me, this is the key, if you learn the language and adopt the culture and come here legally, I say welcome. If not, go the hell home. This is my problem with muslims who want shariah law and Mexican or Cuban immigrants who won't learn English. Don't expect me to adapt to you. You adapt to me. A weekend festival, no problem. Not learning English, problem.

There aren't any issues here in Yuba City with the Sikh's as they have the most money, live in the largest homes, drive Hummers. Hold office, own/operate most of the agriculture in this area.
