Lots of us would love to collect our share on the Irish Potato famine pity party - and how awful the poor Irish refugees were treated in the United States... but that TIME HAS PASSED.
Irish would be jerks - and a poor excuses for citizens - if they were allowed to milk a terror for personal gain - a terror they never experienced.
Should be the same for all groups... I'm guessing 90 years tops from the time of true victimization.
Past that and it's taking the system and damaging innocent people who had no part in the victimization. In short - the point where 'the victims' transition and become the 'new thugs'...
Actually the Irish are the original pity-party group in the US. Indeed they suffered to some extent due to British rule. Meanwhile, they ran gangs and New York City itself, Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall, and have the nerve to claim they were so oppressed. Nonsense, all of it. Nevermind the entertainment over the decades (not simply now - much earlier) extolling them as if they’re the greatest bunch ever, and getting a holiday here.
Just like the black millionaires playing a child’s game claiming victimhood - in the here and now.
But yeah, I get your point. But that’s a big peeve of mine.
