Church Attendance Way Down

Considering the negative reaction to my innocent and complimentary stereotype, I might as well never utter another word for the rest of my life. Geez, the world is currently paved with eggshells and glass shards.

Well, since I'm being shamed for being a racist and insulting Jews by saying they're ''good businessmen'' (and I'm already in hot water) I will add: I think the Chinese are good businessmen who are resourceful and very ambitious and thrifty. There!

EDITED: I should probably change it to ''business people'' so as not to offend feminists, too (I'm a feminist).

Way to stereotype 2.5 billion Chinese people. Maybe they'll return the favor and do the same for whatever race/ethnicity you belong to.
 
I loved spending time in Italy. I loved the art, food, wine, beautiful scenery. My DIL's family is from the toe of the boot. May I ask where you are from?

eta--I started laughing when I crossed the Alps from Switzerland, and didn't stop 'till I left 2 months later in Rome. Really had the time of my life!

Abbruzzi, middle of Italy across from Rome on the Adriatic side. I had just turned 7 when we left for Venezuela, so don't remember much and aside from my little town near Sulmona I only visited Naples before departure.
 
My DIL's family also initially emigrated to Venezuela! Mmmmmmm, what if we're related? Think of all the fun we could have arguing! 😁

Venezuela for Italians used to be like the USA for the hispanics right now, the land of opportunity. Venezuelan business people liked Italians because they were hard workers and Italians made good money there for themselves and to send back to their families. We only came to the US because most of my mother's and father's siblings lived here. I'm glad we came here considering what is going on in Venezuela currently.
 
Exactly, PVC. DIL's mom born in Venezuela, so we call her a Latina! Only one of their family is still in Venezuela, too stubborn to leave, and he is greatly suffering because of that decision.
