but please stay on topic... :)
My question was specific to "help them"..."Help" WHO & HOW??..
Thanks in advance... :)
Fwiw, my relatives arrived here from elsewhere, and many did not speak the language. Aside from some help from friends and family, I am unaware of other "help" they received. And the REALITY is all ethnic groups were subject to stereotyping and bigotry. I am all for helping the truly needy, but I know of not one person who has ever succeeded without a desire to "help" themselves...
And there's the old saying, "When in Rome"... It's a great big world out there...
