Why?
If my history serves me correctly, the Irish and Scots faced many years of persecution at the hands of the English.
Just because they're white its ok? even though they themselves have been through similiar instances? The Irish, and specifically catholics as well as Jews were hated right along with blacks by the KKK.
That's a freakin double standard, to say its' ok to hate on the Irish, but not other minorities.
Kitso
KS 361 my ancestors were Greek, NOT Anglo and our only problem was with the Romans and later the Turks......damn dirty Turks
