    Yeah, the Irish were made cops so that put them up the class structure

    and WHY were the Irish made cops as opposed to the Italians?

      Cause they were already partially converted by British colonization. The Irish were papists just like the Italians.

      You are proposing the Irish were whiter so they got treated better? That ignores the times in which they were not treated better. I don't think you can construct a clear line through this data.

        Why have I seen a job application from the 1980s where the applicant could mark down "Caucasoid: Northern European" "Caucasoid: Asian Indian/Middle Eastern" and "Caucasoid: Italian/Southern European"

        I don't think the hirer cared much about papism

          I can't begin to guess. Is a sample size of one idiot a useful data set for considering American society? Usually not.

            I have Italian friends whose parents couldn't find houses in WASP neighborhoods, this is a weird hill to die on. Most people can tell the difference between a group of Sicilians and a group of Irish. It's not hard.

              Yeah, but no one cares any more to my knowledge. So you have a first order experience of them going from non-white to white. Without any phenotypic changes. You are seeing the fake system in fake action. If it was about any genetic factor that wouldn't have happened.

                Yeah, but no one cares any more to my knowledge.

                if racism against Black/Brown people exists, it also exists (to a lesser extent) against people who pass as Black/Brown

                If you're applying to buy a house, they can see your name is Salvatori Giupetti
                If you're walking down the street, they just see a Latino
