In the sense that Ukraine was part of The Soviet Union, and not a free country that people in general knew of. It just so happened that NY had (may still have) the largest group of U-As in the USA. I'm half 2nd gen Ukrainian American.

Then if my dad was too tired to drive us to that church in the Bronx, we were in Washington Heights; we usually walked about 1/2 mile to the Roman Catholic partly Hispanic church in WH.

I had no idea at first about the "problems" some Christians had with Catholics. The comments (I was only 7 when JFK was elected, 10 when he was assassinated) about him being "the first Catholic President" went over my head back then.

Idk if any of the priests in that RC church were of color. we weren't up front.

Anyway damn DHS and their goonery!
