People who don’t know history and don’t care to know think that all white people are exactly the same. They have no idea that the English oppressed the Irish for 800 years, worse on balance than the 400 years of American slavery. They made war on the Scots and Welsh working classes as well, and spatted with the French for centuries, as did the Germans with the French, Dutch, et cetera. Italians warred with central and eastern Europeans, who warred among themselves. Yet all these groups came to the U.S. and got with the ideals of the melting pot. Each contributed remarkably to the culture. Whites don’t go around speaking Celtic or expecting to wear dyrndls or clan colors in school. American unity has been what is important to whites, despite their own racial divisions between Picts, Celts, Gauls, Flemish, Angles, Saxons, Normans, Vikings and the many other ethnicities found among white-skinned peoples.
I always wonder at these people claiming that “white” people are racist. Which white people? The Irish? The English? The Dutch? The Norwegians? The Finns? The Swedes? The Scots? The Celts? The Spanish? The Italians? The Sicilians? The Germans? The Slavs? The Magyar? The French? The Catalans? The Russians? The Ukrainians? The Georgians? The Danes? Which “white people” is it exactly who cause all this fuss? Who are all these troublemakers!
The whole “white people” thing is just seriously ridiculous. Completely absurd. MOVE ON.
