[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Polish Americans were discriminated against. Where is their holiday? Every one has a grievance about something that happened three generations ago. If you care about discrimination and racism, spend your time and energy fighting against today’s discrimination. [/quote]

You mean Pulaski Day?[/quote]

Casimir Pulaki Day is not a Federal Holiday, I know it is celebrated in Illinois and a few other cities outside of Illinois. I would guess most Americans have no clue who he is and have never celebrated his “day.”

Italian American’s don’t need a specific federal holiday, I am trying to think of another Federal Holiday that is devoted to a specific nationality, there are none. Irish American’s struggled when they came to the US but there is not a Federal Holiday celebrating them. Honestly, most every ethnicity that came to the US has can show that they were discriminated against, it wasn’t just the Italians. If anything, the Chinese and Japanese immigrants have faced the most discrimination in the US historically and there is not a day for either group. We imprisoned Japanese Americans on the West Coast during WWII. [/quote]
