Not "Ukrainian" or "Ukrainian-American" immigrants

The article read, "Sakowitz was founded by brothers Tobias and Simon Sakowitz, the sons of a [.[Ukrainian American|Ukrainian].] immigrant, in 1902." Louis Sakowitz was not a "Ukrainian" immigrant, and the article implies that he was (or became) Ukrainian-American, which is simply not the case.

1) He was not "Ukrainian" by citizenship. There was no independent Ukraine when Louis immigrated to the United States in the 1880s. Most of the Ukrainian lands were part of the Russian Empire at that time, including his hometown, Korostyshiv (a.k.a. Korosteschev). 2) The Sakowitzes were not "Ukrainian" by ethnicity. They were Jewish, which in the Russian Empire was understood as a religious affiliation and an ethnicity--both by Jews and others. The Sakowitzes were not ethnically Ukrainian, and no one, including the Sakowitzes, would have regarded them as such. Poldy Bloom (talk) 03:09, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
