re: #38 laZardo

It is ironic how the ethnic ghettos where they were essentially forced to live in major cities are now glorified as “centers of culture.”

Such is one of the ironies of American history. The ghettoes were not a kindness, yet they simultaneously preserved the culture and identity of the group.

Life can be like that; that which is hard can be good for you.

Which is not saying that bigotry is correct.
