Pinkt vi MenschenOf note,
...
Anyway, what it reminded me of was an often retold family story: my great-grandmother visited Coney Island and was surprised to see black families enjoying themselves at the beach. “Pinkt vi menschen”, she said – just like people.
But she was an uneducated immigrant from Ukraine, and this was circa 1930.
Big surprise that.
