It read: "My name's Kolarics, your name's Kolarics, why do they call you Tschusch" (a very derrogatory term for Balkan people, used at the time) It played to the fact that many of us carry slavoinian names and should relate with newcomers.
I would really love to see something like that these days instead of the constant fearmongering.
