Quoteing Daryavesh's first post on this thread isn't functioning. I think, he'll know which sentence I'm referring to:
Likely, simply through the process of elimination, since other minorities wouldn't have moved into such places in the first place.
Why did your mother choose to move your family to exactly that spot? Were there any Italians or Irish (Catholic) residents there?
I attended school in a suburb of Detroit, as previously mentioned in one of my first posts. You would think that these northern suburbs would be far enough away from Texas. But from the behavior of a few of these kids back then, one could have become the impression that there was a Klucker chapter somewhere nearby. The amount of blind hate displayed by grade school children who weren't old enough to have had the typical hatred-fomenting life experiences of which one would have at an adult age is astonishing. Especially when the victims of such bullying were identified through their last names only and not through any visible means of which would set them apart from other non-W.A.S.P. children. The boy in question has neither arrived to grade school wearing a Kippa nor wearing long sidelocks typical of Hassidism and the other victim was a girl.
I only can remember two assailants of this type, during my entire grade school experience. Therefore, I couldn't pick up on what parallel classes were experiencing.
Usually, children's opinions hardly ever coincide with that of their parents, unless maybe the family became victim of a home invasion of which was never heard of in the early Sixties suburbia. The one boy grew up in a single-parent family and the other's familial situation was unknown, since he seemed to be a loner. He displayed no trace of having a southern accent. So, it would be a waste of time not to rule out a direct connection with a former geographic environment capable of inspiring such strong opinion-making. Judging by his mannerism, one can assume that his parents didn't achieve any social status beyond that of no skilled to, at best, a blue collar level. Back then, because the Dollar was still strong and wage-bargaining still effective, the social genderism on the housing market equivalent to how it is today was not yet possible. So, you could have had someone pushing a broom at a factory being able to buy a house within close vicinity to that of a skilled tradesman, architect, plant supervisor or school teacher. At least, close enough so that all of their children attended the same schools.
