[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's a very interesting phenomon. But it has its roots in the history of the Irish in the US and in DC. Until the great wave of Irish immigration in the 1840's and 1850's, Catholics were really just another Christian sect. When the Irish arrived they insisted on their own schools, their own clubs, their own everything. Check the roster at Columbia Country Club and tell me what you see.[/quote] I think it was more a matter of starting their own schools and clubs because they were shunned elsewhere, much like other oppressed members of society have done throughout history.[/quote]
