Antoine's (New Orleans) The restaurant was started in 1840 by French immigrant Antoine Alciatore. Today, it is run by a fifth-generation family member, Bernard Guste, making it the oldest continuously owned family business in Louisiana, according to a study by Bryant College in Rhode Island.


According to a few minutes of research M. A. Patout sugarmill has been owned and run by the same family since 1825. If I were to dig longer I would bet good money there are several more farms around that have been in production at least that long.

The German House of Fugger goes back for around 600 years; merchants and bankers. There are still some rich Fuggers today.

Yet people in America are racist simply because they’re white. I wonder what the difference is.

The Japanese people are very industrious, and they have a love of fine craftsmanship.


Have you ever watched their YouTube carpentry videos where they don’t use any nails, screws, etc???

The wood work is beautiful, and it’s amazing how precise and almost seamless the results are.

I have a chef's knife that came from Japan... From a family business that has been making swords and knives for over 700 yrs..( and my mother put it in the dishwasher one day when she was watching my daughters)


Yikes, I got in trouble for telling my former mother-in-law you never put fine kitchen cutlery in a dishwasher and not to use steel utensils on my good copper core nonstick pans.

I find it comical that they can be super racist and only want pure blood Asians and no one bats an eye


Only white people are expected to diversify themselves. Nobody else on the planet.

Yes. Some incomprehensible attitude that white people shouldn’t ever be content to be around other white people. Absolutely no other race in human history has ever tormented itself in such a way.

Also, Japanese population is decreasing, so lack of diversity and a very regimented society isn't helping them as a country at the moment.


So they have fewer people and their economy shrinks a bit. Better than destroying their country.

Well that estimate is a bit low. Or the author is a denier.

But Japan is still Japanese. It's a real nation. It's not a giant open air Walmart that many other nations have become.
