[quote=Anonymous]I'm Italian-American. My grandparents were born in Italy, and they never learned how to speak English. When I was a little kid, my grandmother on the other side of my family would tell her mother to speak English. That's the difference, I think. My family realized the importance of learning how to speak English. Plus, law enforcement, especially the Feds, were suspicious of immigrants who spoke Italian instead of English. I probably have experienced advantages from being perceived as "all white." However, I do remember what it felt like to be treated differently because my family was different in our culture and language, until we started to blend in with the tossed salad that is America.[/quote]
