Oh my, Walter. Things seem to never change. All of my grandparents came to the U.S. from southern Italy in the early 1900s. Yes, more than 100 years ago. They were “legal” immigrants and faced all of the same discrimination you describe. It is horrible how few things change. It is disgusting how tribal the U.S. is. Melting Pot? Only if we melt away and become part of the homogeneous soup. No gumbo for us. No minestrone for us. Just plain, old, boring tomato soup for you. “Be one of us or be gone.” Hang in there - there are lots of us who have your backs. Creating a tribe that includes all of us.

The exclusionism is what they're trying to preserve with the anti-diversity movement. Thanks for your support!

Do they really not commit any crimes? Of course they do. Some get away with it and others get a slap in the hand because of white privilege. Lots of criminals in the US.
