Content: They just are a footnote in history, lots of last names and some cultural nuances that we now assume are "normal". The Indians and Hispanics are the new guys, so it's easier to take note of them and their changes to the American landscape. But rest assured, back when the Germans were "the new guys", people hated them. There were comics that depicted them as disease ridden, anarchists, Huns and criminals. Invading hordes and pointy-helmeted anti-Americans. The German immigrants in their day were treated, frankly, FAR WORSE than their descendants now currently treat the Mexican immigrants. Back then open prejudice was very much in vogue and people openly considered Germans (and Irish) to be pests. Look how that turned out! Jon Mixon
