Shoot, now I can't read what you originally said to see if I misunderstood something. (Which I probably did.). Damn you, Sponge Bob! Damn you to hell!
Anyhoo, I assume that the people who were telling your husband and bil that "you'll always be a second class citizen" meant it as a warning beccause they knew that your husband and bil were going to leave the place where they didn't have an accent to go to someplace like Podunk State to play football.
(We import our place kickers from places like Eastern Europe and such where "football" is soccer. And they talk in funny accents, too, but that's okay so long as they don't miss any game-winning kicks.)
