16. Good discussion however

the problem is that Russians, Irish, and Hungarians (who you didn't discuss) are all designated as "white" based on the U.S. system of racism/white supremacy, so it was easy to "assimilate" (ethnically) after one or two generations here in this country, and move on. However if you are a POC, you will NEVER EVER be permitted to assimilate. You carry the imposed stigma of the color of your skin forever. And if your skin color doesn't give you away and it is later discovered you descended from someone of color, like Homer Plessy, who was 1/8th black, then you are immediately reclassified as "black", with all the burdens that go with that. The political comedy "Watermelon Man" by Melvin Van Peebles, hyperbolically illustrated this -

When Jesse Jackson called NYC "Hymietown" over 30 years ago, not only was he tarred and feathered, but was drawn and quartered and strung up.... The term "Hymie" deriving from a legitimate oft-used Jewish name "Hymie" or "Hyman" (orig. Hebrew "Chaim&quot , but more recently used as a pejorative, not unlike the similar use of "Paddy" as a pejorative (despite it being a valid name as well). He apologized but it was never considered enough, and it branded him since and will for the rest of his life.

So the issue is not as simple as people make out - mainly because of the uniqueness of the dysfunctional American system of racism and all the codes and rules that come into play (or are cherry-picked for enforcement by the oppressor).
