Does everybody get along?

Hell, no. My grandmother was a Quebecoise and one of my aunts married a
Frenchie. Family picnics were a real battle ground. The damn French
wanted their beer warm and Germans prefer it to be other than the
temperature of warm ****. The Irish don't care as long as there is beer.

I grew up in an ethnically diverse area and most people kept to their
own. There was even the Irish church, the French church, and the German
church as far as Catholics went. Ethnic slurs flew hot and heavy but
mostly it was just in fun.
