If you want to paint with a broad brush, FINE. But don't complain or go "oh, please" when someone like me deicdes to call you on it.

When did I paint with a broad brush?

Did you even read my post?

Your comment "insulated world of suburban Virginia" was a biggie on that front.

I go to church with some folks who are probably immigrants - I've never asked, it's their business, not mine. In my experience, many of them appear to be decent people. When I go to a Chinese restaurant near where I live, there are folks there, too. Probably immigrants or the children of immigrants running a small business.
