And to that I say, Poles and Jews again. Because it's not an issue of giving up the culture (and more than culture, religion - doesn't America guarantee freedom of it?) - most people actively discriminated against in the past were the ones who did dare show their heads out of the ghettos, to get into universities and try to say they're Polish Jews and care about Poland, often converts with just Jewish ancestry. It's an issue of people, now, passing on lists of "real names" of famous people who they say are secretly Jewish and working to destroy the world. It's an issue of a representative of our Minstry of Education, weeks ago, visiting Israel and exclaiming that he'd never thought a rabbi could be blue-eyed. Recent issue? This has been going on for six hundred years. Six hundred years since, after getting kicked out of Spain, Spanish Jews came to Poland as the one land that didn't persecute them openly.

I think that the problem on both ends is that people are operating, and passing judgement, based on too little information.
