Strange you commenton this because where I used to live, 60 miles from here, the majority of minorities were Asian, closely followed by Hindu Indians. It took me a while to get used not seeing ANY of these nationalities anywhere around here. I guess they all settled in my old town? LOL

Where I live now is mostly Puerto Rican, followed by Mexicans. The scary thing here is that these two groups hate each other and there is a lot of fighting between them, and gangs are very strong. I hate to admit it, but there is a lot of racial tension in general around here. We are ripe for a major racial riot soon.

Where I grew up, well, we were the only Catholic family for blocks - apparently the town was rich with German Jewish immigrants. I learned sooo much about the Jewish faith and even as a kid made sure mom bought kosher so my friends could come for lunch! A few blocks from my town was rich with Russian Jewish immigrants. To this day, I feel the story of Hannukah is beautiful and I wish more people knew the story and embraced its meaning in their heart.
