OT ..about "offending" other people and their cultures..

..there was a time in this country not so long ago that EVERYBODY enjoyed other people's culture...

we were all Irish on St Patricks Day, German for octoberfest, black when listening to Flip Wilson or Gladys Knight and the Pips, Polish for kielbasi and halupki and kolachi...we were Chinese for Chinese New Year...

we though innocently that it was a compliment to partake in other people's cultures and traditions...

I miss those days....

That was beautiful. I'll borrow a line from the Bagster of old: "Marry me, cherry".

Back in the day, we were taught the miracle of the melting pot - all nationalities coming together to become the UNITED States of America.
