Your dad was a great man, but was he a dago, spic or both?
When I was younger I was in a diner late at night, loudly referring to myself as a “guinea”. Some other Italian guys in the diner looked like they were going to kill me.
The whole race thing used to be a challenge, or a joke. Before we started banning words.
And nobody gave us all the stuff the new “victims” are getting.
Those are a few of the derogatory names Italians were.Grandpa Joe brought his family to the USA, all became Naturalized Citizens. He said you are Americans now, he allowed no other language spoke, and instilled a love for America in his children. Dad was the only 1 born after his parents were Naturalized. Dad put the first US Flag up on Corregidor on a Telegraph pole with a PFC under Sniper fire. About half way down the page. https://corregidor.proboards.com/thread/503?page=2
