Take thyself to Belmont Ave in Chicago and then reassess your blanket absolution of Polish immigrants. The auto dealers “Mowimy Polsku” or go out of business. Papers for sale just like on 26th St (the Mexican hood). We just had Polish constitution day weekend up here and its just a real riot!

I can also tell a lot of you folks never grew up back East hence your lack of perspective in re seeing foreign flags – whither Columbus Day in NYC, a day that of course should be celebrated, but in many respects a deliberate paean to Italian-Americans.

S@*&, U.S. Steel plants used to have work rules and warning signs posted in 18 languages. I’d take that in a minute-at least that plant would still be here in the U.S..
