This thread reminds me of past years when "Italian Americans" were the bad guys, killing robbing and whatever could be blamed on them. They have moved on to bigger and better things. Business owners etc.
Then we had the "Polish Americans" who were all considered "not bright" but who today have moved well up the ladder in the business, scientific and medical fields.
Just two of many (One From Many is our motto, right).
All had names attached which many of us recall..
One advantage.....they had white skin. THAT is a big advantage.
I also recall a book I read while in the Navy which impressed me and really made me think and re evaluate my way of thinking.
"BLACK LIKE ME"

The Italians, the Polish, all hated for a time among many other ethnic groups.
Sure glad social media didnt exist or the hatred would have grown
