I listened to the Don Cherry clip again. His “You People” comment was completely out of line. Even he admitted it in subsequent interviews. His basic message was perfectly ok had he done it without pointing fingers. Heck, he himself is the product of immigrants and seemingly proud of it. From wiki: Early life and family Cherry was born in Kingston, Ontario to Delmar (Del) and Maude Cherry. [5] His paternal grandfather, Sub/Cst. John T. (Jack) Cherry, was an original member of the North West Mounted Police (now Royal Canadian Mounted Police), and a Great Lakes ship captain. His maternal grandfather, Richard Palamountain, was a British orphan of Cornish parentage who was emigrated to Canada as one of the Home Children. The name Palamountain is a corruption of the Cornish language "pol-mun-tyr" meaning "pool by the mineral land". [6] Palamountain was also a veteran of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. [7] Cherry's father Del was an amateur athlete and worked as an electrician with the Canadian Steamship Lines. [5] On the March 15, 2008 edition of Coach's Corner, Cherry wore the green and gold colours of County Kerry, Ireland. In his segment following the game, he claimed ancestry from that region.
