You know nothing about modern Ireland. Have you ever spent any time there? If you knew that Kerry isn't Irish, why did you bring it up?

Ever been to Quebec (btw, I am also a quarter Arcadian)?

But, honestly, the Catholics see Mary as a symbol of their faith, can't you see that having a Chief or a Brave or a Redskin might be offensive to native americans? Are you standing firm with them?

Helmut is the name of a German male BTW.

If you knew that Kerry isn't Irish, why did you bring it up? because the Irish in Massachusetts elected the guy, because he and they think alike. Yes and yes. The differences in religious observance in these two counties circa. 1965 and that today is quite striking. No, indians do not object to the use of these terms on religious grounds and most do not object to them at all. And my Peruvian neighbor down the street is named Helmut. SO?
