[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah not too long ago Italians and Irish weren't even considered white[/quote] Well, about 80-100 years ago. [/quote] More recent than that. In the 1960s there were still restrictive covenants on home sales that excluded Italians, my friend's Italian father was not allowed to even set foot in the church that his Welsh Presbyterian mother was from. With the Irish it'd be 80 years, there was discrimination along with the whole "Shanty Irish / Lace Curtain Irish" thing up until at least the 1940s.[/quote]
