@@drakeo8647 You may have a point but historically it makes plenty of sense for the silent gen grandpa to complain about eastern/southern European immigrants. At that point in time we had just (mostly) moved past the German and Irish discrimination of the 1820s-1880s. The 1880s-1930s were dominated by immigration from South/eastern europe, silent gen would have inherited this attitude from his father

The name "Silent Generation" makes a lot of sense just due to the sheer number of topics that were Simply Not Talked About back then. Like if you got raped, it was your fault for talking about it and making everyone uncomfortable. If you were gay, you didn't even exist. Most people would tell you they never met a gay person if you asked, and they'd also be disturbed that you even thought to ask that question.

Major differences between Southern (Democrat) and Northern (Republican) Silent Generation. The Southern Silent is unapologetic about their racial distastes (Polish and Black people) and the Northern Silent is still open about their class distastes (Homeless and Welfare recipients). In some places they overlap. I know this from having a Family from Connecticut and West Virginia. These have been the most common of experiences.
