I'm sure many FReeper's ancesters were saying the same about Jewish and Italian immigrants 100 years ago. And were saying it about Irish and Catholic immigrants 150 years ago.

BTW, below is a news clipping regarding yesterday's LA airport shooter. How common was this kind of attitude among the immigrants of 100 years ago, do you suppose?
