[quote=Anonymous]Look, the reality is Irish Catholic immigrants were generally poor and grouped together in northeastern cities where they helped each other get along. They weren’t welcome, they weren’t wanted, and they knew that. In truth, most of them didn’t want to leave Ireland, but had no choice due to either war or economics or the great hunger. That sort of vibe tends to lead to an insular community that seeks comfort in its identity and passes that down through generations. This is far from the only community in America where you can see this.[/quote]
