6. Yeah. My grandmother on my father's side came from Poland as a teenager.

My grandfather on my mother's side came from Germany, worked on a ship to get here. They married into second generation. In our families education was stressed, respect for the teachers because they wanted their kids to be educated and be good Americans.

My comment, though, about the Afghans coming with their kids is noticing the industriousness of the Somalis, the Haitians and Indians seem to be even quicker about starting their own businesses, etc. than our grandparents were. When you go into their neighborhoods and eat in their restaurants they are so vibrant and bring so much newness (dumb word, I know). Of course, this is what the white nationalists are so afraid of. They think our culture should stay in the 1950s or 1960s. I want to tell them, "Don't be so afraid. Come on in. The water's fine."
