It's really rediculous. My family has only been in this country for less than 80 years, and we are put in the same group with the people who have been here 400 years! We keep hearing that "Black people get special treatment because of what we did to them." I'm sorry, but for most of Southern New England, New York, and New Jersey that is not the case. I keep hearing black people say things like, "My great-great-great-grandmother was a slave", well MY GRANDPARENTS were slaves in Poland when Hitler invaded. Guess what! I'm not Jewish! I'm a Catholic Pole. They actually met in the slave camp! Also, we as the Poles have been trampled on as a culture for at least 300 years (which is longer than African Americans), even up until the 1970's. You want proof? Just look at the history of Chicago and the square mileage where the Poles were allowed to live! Almost like a good old fashioned American Ghetto. I feel alot of minorities are pushing themselves down.
