What do you mean by discrimination?

As the child of South European immigrants in America during the last century, I know all about what you call "discrimination".

Believe me, if you speak, read and write Good English ( if you remember that the nominative case for the personal pronoun of the first person singular is a capital "I" not "i"-) and if you have good manners and your clothes are sensible, modest, clean and neat - EVERY door will open for you. America needs you. Indeed, people will be grateful to know you and have you around.

A word to the wise
