I’m not aiming for a fight, but what other term would you use beside white t? Clemenza could have said native-born jerks. btw, I’m getting to be of the opinion that kids born here of citizens should be made to take the citizenship test when they turn 18 (exemptions of course to mentally slower / handicapped persons) and, if they pass, become citizens, get allowed to drive, vote, etc. If not, they should complete a tour of duty with the military and become citizens.

I don’t want to fight with you either. I would rather we both save our strength for the fight against our enemies. If the public education system in this country was doing its job, 18 year old kids should be able to pass that test with ease. As far as the military option is concerned, I don’t want them defending us if they can’t pass a simple test. The military requires a high tech workforce.

I had relatives (aunt and uncle) who lived in Edison in the 1970s and 1980s. They were good working people, and told me straight out that Edison (at least the area near Piscataway) had a lot of "underachieving Americans" at that time, and complained about it incessently. Edison also had one of the most corrupt Democratic administrations in the state (and that is saying alot), so that even uberLeftist current Mayor Jun "Bok" Choi is an improvement over the prior adminstration.

I didn't mean to offend anybody, just pointing out what was commonly said back in the day.
