IV-related: "They Called Us Enemy"

[rich]

my great-grandmother had to jump through hoops and register this and that
during the earlier years of WW2 being from Italy originally. obviously
nothing comparable to the Japanese internment camps but it strikes me as
ironic that later generation Italian Americans tend to be the most
patriotic (Columbus, racism, etc) considering how they were viewed way back
when as greasy Catholic anarchists. forgive but not forget I guess not.
