Suddenly, we see people i ho used to change their i imes and smooth their anners adopting their tradim with gusto, cnthusiastiilly putting the hyphen hack < to "American". Polishmcricans, Irish-Americans. alian-Amcrieans. Jewishmericans, and many do/ens ' other groups aije rcaffirmig that this is a nation of nmigrants and that while we re all citizens of one land, ich of us brings to it a fecial, specific culture and ackground. America is a combination of II of those different cultures nd its strength lies in a calthy, diverse pluralism that :spcets all and belittles none. In part, this new ethnicity terns from the civil rights lovement of the late 1950s nd early 1960s. The black ejection of the white t 4 ? y 15 Vernon E. Anglo-Saxon model of supposed superiority and the revival of pride in our own ethnic background helped influence other groups. Some people see renewed confidence by other ethnic groups as being somehow "bad for blacks" since the "ethnics" are commonly perceived by the media and others to be more liable to racism than others. But a report of studies made over the past several years indicates just the opposite is true. Writing in a new research publication. The Urban League Review, Dr. Robert B. Hill concludes that: "Generally, we have found that white Protestants throughout the nation arc more likely to hold unfavorable racial attitudes than white ethnics in similar size communities and regions. "These findings strongly suggest that white ethnics, who comprise onlv a small fraction of the population in most parts of the nation, have nnnnrnntlv Konn 'ccmoimitr' T V'V V II .1V II gW(l I .1 for many anti-black activities spearheaded by white Protestants. Thus, special caution should be exercised in the future before snap judgments arc made about the 'racism' of white ethnics and the 'liberalism' of white Protestants." Lest anyone think that such conclusions are tilted by the predominance of white Protestants in the south, where there are relatively few ethnics. Hill states that: tr J?ly 2k, 197S > * . Jordan, Jr. "In regions outside the south, white ethnics are still less likely than white Protestants to favor school segregation." Some inter-group friction is almost inevitable in the early stages of ethnic self-discovery. but never as much as the media make it appear, and even such biases tend to melt away. tO the Dear Sir: \A7~ lAtC?
