@GottaLaff @willbunch and the folks denigrating them? I always want to ask, where did your people come from? Were they fleeing famine and hardship? Didn’t your great gramma have a scarf on her head and struggle with English? Wasn’t her husband a day laborer in the time when European immigrants were last hired first fired? Didn’t they come here with nothing but hope and work themselves to death so you could prosper?
