Labas David,
I remember as a child that one of my uncles did not speak highly of the
Irish in the coal mining area of Scranton, PA. Am I correct to interpret
that the Irish (in political power) discriminated against anyone who wasn't
Irish? And I had an aunt who said something that she was called a "Hun" by
the kids on the next street.
Sveikata,
Dave Samuels
