    There are certain ethnicities that although white, have been marginalized and scapegoated for societies problems in the past. Groups like Italians and Irish people were considered a lower-tier of white people, just above black people, especially in the US in the 18-1900’s.

      I’m pretty sure they weren’t considered any tier of “white.”

      although white

      Can’t really say that when the whole category is nebulous and subjective

      It’s why the US has St Patrick’s Day and Christopher Columbus Day. They needed to prove their worth to earn “whiteness”

    Anglo-Saxon was the top only real white. Catholics were hated (so most of the mainland European). Irish were put into indentured servitude. Italians were essentially black. Ukrainians were slavs and were an entirely different species of humans. Same with Polish.

    What’s wrong spaghetti boy, can’t type “moving” without making huge hand motions? Good luck responding with your thumb and middle fingers touching the entire time.
