America too had her one Jewish film cowboy, silent star "Bronco Billy" Anderson (nee "Aronson"), the first cowboy star ever before Wm S. Hart,
my hand to G-d! He was immensely popular as well.

Poland, I'd imagine. I know of certain younger German-born Jews, one in fact from Hannover,
who confessed he screamed with pride at his office when Germany won the World Cup some years
back.
Assimilated is assimilated, whether it's French-Jewish, German-Jewish or Polish-Jewish.

@Rich,
Despite the fact that it seems to bother you,
anyone born in Poland, even if of foreign-born parents,
is technically considered of Polish birth, even if
the national ethnicity of the parents is not Polish!
Jews had been living in Poland for centuries, not
necessarily only in Yiddish-speaking shtetls, and many
assimilated into Polish culture as well as language
even before they were declared citizens in the 19th
century.

No. I do though adamantly take issue with anyone who denies that Polish-born Jews, such
as the Chief Rabbi of Poland Ber Stambler, have as much legal right to live in Poland as a
gentile Pole.
There will always be those among the former who maintain "I'm not a Pole! I'm a Jew who'
happens to have been born and lives in Poland." There will always be others who claim
"I'm a Pole of Jewish descent and proud of being both!"
Who's right? Fact is, they both are and there's nothing anybody can do about it, living as
we do in a post-Holocaust world! Anybody who has a problem with that will simply have to
deal with it in their own way, in their own time, period.

Ideally yes, Ironside. However, history paints a somewhat different picture.
The US is basically Protestant, yet doesn't acknowledge America as a solely
Protestant nation, despite the preponderance of the latter.
Poland is nearly 99.9% staunch Roman Catholic, in practice, not only
nominally cf. with Austria. Poles will typically identify themselves as Catholic = Polish
FIRST AND FOREMOST!

Poland is traditionally, that is, historically, a Roman Catholic nation, Poloniusz et al.
The State which represents the religious convictions of her citizens might indeed separate
such a distinction on paper, though scarcely in practice.
George Washington was a Protestant by conviction, yet maintained a strict adherence to the
legal separation between Church and State, while at the same time, allowing both Jews and Catholics to peacefully co-exist. He permitted Jews to enter
the New World, so long as they neither required not exacted any financial assistance from our government.
Throughout Poland ever since she was Christianized, Jews were a barely tolerated, if scarcely "welcomed: group within
the borders of Poland. So long as they practiced their religion in private, made no demands on their gentile neighbors
by behaving themselves, they could even attend school as well as exist within their community.. A small number converted to Catholicism, a slightly larger number
still ended up becoming assimilated into Polish society, acknowledging their Jewish roots, simultaneously adopting to
national life. But it wasn't easy.

For the same reason Poland openly rejects the separation between Church and state!
The US makes a big deal about the separation between the two, while repeatedly appointing
Supreme Court justices such as Comey Barrett who imposes her antiquated views on abortion.
You tell me why, Poloniusz.
