I think he was suggesting that it is unlikely his kids will marry other Polish-Americans.

 

unless they are first or second generations, there could always be a coincidence

 

Yes Heidi, as Stefan stated. I'm guessing it is similar in other "melting pots", as it often is in the States. As different ethnic groups have immigrated here, initially their ties with the group of origin are quite close. As time and generations go on, it becomes less so. Despite my parents having been born in the US, I grew up with a lot of Old World traditions and customs. While my wife and I still keep up many of these traditions, I must admit things become more diluted over time. My parents grew up in neighborhoods where Polish was spoken more than English, not so the case with me or my wife. My childrens' meeting of others with similar backgrounds would be quite by chance.
