Very sad. 100 years ago Long Island was undeveloped and rural. Many of the people living there are 2nd and third generation immigrants themselves. I was born there and am the son of an immigrant and grandson of immigrants from Italy. I heard stories of discrimination against Italians.
Now I'm afraid that the descendants of the Irish, Italians, etc. who suffered so much bigotry are the bigots.
