Growing up in the streets of New York, it was common enough to hear the taunt: "Go back to where you came from" It was rare to hear the words from adults except those whose development had been retarded by say, a personality disorder.
In any event, the words carried little weight especially when we learned that all of our ancestors, going back to the Indians, would have left the country long before we had been born, had anyone paid the words any mind.
