Jeffrey Masko may I suggest you become more familiar with the history of discrimination against Southern and East European immigrant laborers, that was especially rampant in the USA. Those of Italian ancestry were viewed as "lessers" (non-white) in the U. S. by the WASPS.
Australia banned immigration of Chinese and Italian laborers up to recent times. My parents were both Irish ancestry, but my Catholic godfather was a good Italian laborer Tony Metro, who as my parents had voted for another Italian, by the name Vito Marcantonio, a U. S. Congressman elected, as the American Labor Party candidate. Italian ancestry radicals and oppressed laborers in many of the most historic U. S. labor struggles. Joe Ettor & Arturo Giovanitti in the historic Lawrence MA and Patterson NJ textile strikes and the martyrs Anna LoPizzo in Lawrence shot by the police, and Sacco & Vanzetti who were murdered by the state government - because of their being in part: Italian. ________________________________ On 10/6/20 10:59 AM, Jeffrey Masko wrote: Ok, I got it.......... but. None of this is acceptable. As I've said repeatedly, this is not social media. We need to aspire to a higher standard. As a rule of thumb, posts should be dispassionate and high-minded even when I fail to meet those standards myself. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
