  It’s important to remember that the Italians and the Irish were treated as a low rung of American society not all that long ago.

  They are legitimate victims of the brunt of American hate.

    Is there anyone Americans haven’t hated and/or discriminated against yet? Anyone ever not been a victim of the US?

        Hard to discriminate against someone who can buy their way past it.

        Counterpoint, CEO’s death being praised by many. Seems like hatred is an equal opportunity thing, but some are more insulated to it than others.

    My name comes from an ethnic background but I dont look ethnic so I always get weird Looks at doctors offices because of it. I think its pretty funny but I guess some people dont find it as funny to be “profiled” so to speak. It really depends on the culture you grew up in and how high tolerance actually was for that sort of thing in your life, at least thats my two cents. I dont mind it but others might.

      I’m not trying to hate on you but there’s a real problem with using the word ethnic to mean non white. You are certainly ethnic. You belong to an ethnicity.

    on aversge, how many "nein"s do you hear from non-germans per day?

      I have the perfect response to that but this is by far my favorite sub and I don’t want to risk offending the mods, so I’m afraid I can’t answer that question.

      Well, fast food places are a nightmare, for one. It’s always “neiny nein” this and “neiny nein” that.
