    Also not trying to pick a fight.

    Poor whites are subjected to subject to additional law enforcement scrutiny, denied job opportunities, and discriminated against when trying to purchase a home. Im not saying it’s on the same level that it happens to black folks or actual minorities. But you don’t have to be Irish, to be white and get shafted by capitalism.

      This I completely recognize and agree with, but that wasn’t the premise posted. The premise was “Irish American”. I’d never heard that as a modern day form of discrimination, and that’s why I was questioning it.

      But you don’t have to be Irish, to be white and get shafted by capitalism.

      Right again, but again, that wasn’t the premise posted.
