This Polack can relate.
Italian Tires? Have to know now. Dont worry, not thin skinned :)
Polish? My BIL (great guy) was Polish ancestry. Died 5 years ago. Vietnam vet. Had taps and everything at the cemetery.
Anyway, of course we teased him :)
My cousin married a great Irish gal. One kid looks all italian, the other all Irish.
So when I see him, I say how’s the Irish kid? :)
