Who settled in Fields Corner?

The text above says that it was the Communists. While that’s possible, I don’t think it is what was intended.

Poor writing fixed

Yeah, they were not Communists.

Some here say they settled in Cambridge...

Some do say that

and some say that wildfires are caused by Jewish space lasers, and some say that the British Royal Family are alien lizards, and, as noted in another article, some say that windmills cause cancer. It’s hard to come up with something so stupid that some don’t say it.

I just wish the Vietnamese hadn't been Ghettoized. I miss the time when Boston had multicultural neighborhoods. Back in the 1960s Roxbury and the South End was incredibly diverse.
