A few years ago I worked with an Irish born ultrasound technician in America who absolutely hated the British. He talked about how a million Irish men, women, and children died in the Potato Famine while the English stood by.

Back then, there was a lot of discrimination against Jews. For example, there were quotas to reduce the number of Jews in colleges, later replaced by regional diversity policies which did the same thing. Jews were limited in their participation in many other fields, as well as socially. Jews succeeded in spite of discrimination, not because there was none.

By the time of Myerson’s reign as Miss America, this had certainly not ended; it was some years after that that things improved significantly.

Excuse me. Last time I checked, the Jews are the most successful ethnic group in this country.

Thanks. Not I’ve Got a Secret because I remember that show very well. While she served as a panelist, the show I remember had her modeling (I especially remember mink coats). Ann may be correct, but I sadly admit I don’t even remember The Big Payoff as a name.

Update: I think Ann is correct. I checked Wiki and they noted that the show’s theme song was A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody. That most definitely rings a bell.

Amazing isn’t it? The stuff that bumps around in the corners of our mind!

Thanks

I’ve often noticed how many Asian parents in America give their children Anglo first names Like Susan Li, Fred Fukyama, and Joe Chan. They want their kids to achieve. On the other hand, many black parents give their kids first names that are seen as black or unique. It’s an attempt to be separate.

The left is working hard to keep minority groups as victims. They don’t want them to assimilate (“acting white).
