Why didn’t Vance post anything about Diwali despite being married to a Hindu?

Sad! Sad!

Besides obvious religious differences, not really. Think about it. They’re each coming from broken nations in poverty and are seeking freedom from oppressive governments. And before you say it, no, I don’t fear America becoming an Islamic theocracy like many right wingers do. It’s impossible under our Constitution (what remains of it, anyways). By the way, you better check the polls. Trump is RAPIDLY losing support of Hispanic people. Probably the whole “faceless Gestapo brutality” thing. They went through Ellis island and got admitted to the U.S. in 5 seconds instead of waiting literal years.

Okay, how many “generations” are we talking here? As I said, it took DECADES before the Buffalo Volksfreunde and Dziennik Dla Wszystkich went under. That’s more than going to church, that’s a regular news outlets in a foreign language. Please stop using the word “importing” as if people are nothing more than a can of tomatoes. Immigration, at minimum, brings new families and business owners that fill the vacant storefronts and homes that litter Buffalo. Ever been to Buffalo Fresh on Broadway? A totally abandoned old Rite Aid that’s now a thriving supermarket. Both of my neighbors are immigrants. Both have good jobs and families and are a delight to live next to. One even brought my garbage cans in for me last night when I had to work late.

No, they were nervous about having a direct democracy. That’s why they set up a representative form of government. I don’t consider people seeking a better life here to be “invaders.”

Brady and Dorsey both have/had the same problem of stacking receiving routes way too close to each other. There have been a couple plays recently where we seem to have a receiver and a TE right on top of each other.

Do you think assimilation is an overnight process? Buffalo had separate newspapers in Polish and German for immigrants. Masses at St. Stanislaus are STILL in Polish to this day. St. Anthony’s has an Italian mass. Up until recently, you could even find signs and such in Polish on the East Side. Immigrants concentrate in areas with their own kind, so much so that areas get named for ethnic groups. Buffalo has Kaisertown, Polonia, and the First Ward as examples. And why wouldn’t you? Why wouldn’t you live in a strange new country with people that know you and your culture? This is nothing new, it’s human nature.

You’re a little slow on the uptake but it’s okay, plenty of time to figure it out.

It’s not made up. Vance is quickly realizing that his mixed marriage won’t float with the rabid chimpanzees that make up your political aisle. He’s trying to get away from it as much as he can.

There is zero difference between this and a candidate in the 60s trying to get Polish people on the East Side of Buffalo to vote for them

No such thing as “invaders.” No such thing as “heritage American.” Such ideas are antithetical to the United States.

You live in constant denial about reality and it’s very amusing. You still cranking it to ICE raids? Saw that ICE fired live rounds into a woman’s windshield this morning, that must make you very happy.

I think not fully rejecting a viciously racist attack on his wife’s heritage shows he’s a pretty shite person, actually. Why is he describing her as “agnostic” and not Hindu? Have you seen the replies to the White House post celebrating Diwali? Anti-Indian racism is EXPLODING among your kind.

He defended the kid who got caught saying “normalize Indian hate.” He wants her to leave Hinduism. A couple nice red flags there.
