41. Ok, I'm not playing this game.
Edited on Mon Oct-10-05 04:32 PM by moddemny

My point was newly arrived immigrant groups have problems with labeling/slander, etc (the way you did in reply#32 and the genius before you in #29) when they come here. Then you post

"You didn't get this kind of behavior from "other immigrant groups:"

What do you want me to do? List the how the actions of some individuals/small groups helped to contribute to the stereotyping of the whole ethnic group?

The Italian mob was responsible for many killings (and bombings) and massive corruption in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Nevada...... Am I suppose to label all Italians mobsters? You want a list of all the crimes?

The Irish had their mob and gangs (the Westies and others), so did the Chinese, and Russians, the list goes on. Am I suppose to write a laundry list of their deeds to smear a whole ethnic group?

Jews had tons of labels and stereotypes thrown at them, I am not even going to touch that subject.


I am not going to get invovled in this type of ethnic debate on this level.
