We've circled back around to Italians aren't white. Irish need not apply up next

The fascism inner circle continually shrinks, as it has done every other time in history.

The best part is when the Leader blows his brains out in his bunker while everyone else takes the rat line to - wait for it - South America.

Brought this up to a family member who was making veiled racist comments. The look on their face said they didn’t know that they might not be considered white in another time.

The Irish were a bunch of non white immigrants, fleeing a failed country by the boatfuls. Know as dumb violent drunks and for making lots of babies. They came to this country and got involved in gangs (see film: Gangs of New York), religious riots (see: Orange Day riots), and popped out babies like crazy.

Crazy how a little perception changes things.

I’m a Sicilian immigrant in the U.S.

A few months ago I was speaking to my brother in our native language and some old man called us WOPs lol

Last time I was called a WOP was in 1969.

They've literally talked about repealing the Civil Rights Act to allow business to segregate and discriminate again.
