  Forget 19th century, they are trying again. This heritage American shit. They want to go back.

  Those people would actually turn red quite fast when left outside, so are they really white in their natural state?

  I’m pretty sure that’s Bram Stoker (who wrote Dracula) that the arrow’s pointing to, and he was Anglo-Irish, i.e. woulda been considered waspy.

  I read that Irish- and Italian-Americans were only granted recognition as White after they were recruited en masse (often from criminal/street gangs) into police departments and put to use against Black populations migrating from the Jim Crow South.

    Yea, the time between (and overlap inbetween) the Irish being sold as slaves, having “Irish need not apply” signs on businesses, and the modern definition of the wHiTe rAcE is far too short for comfort.

    Was that recognition attested to by all the racist organizations? Amazing the cooperation of a vast nation, the size of Europe, working together to end racism for just a few groups. Wait, that makes no sense because racism isn’t coordinated. GTFO with that revisionist nonsense.

    Yes it is!

    Apparently it’s a still from the 1981 TV miniseries The Mansions of America.
