Wrong.

The Scot-Irish weren't considered white until the 1800s. Not until they were used as a buffer class between the Black slaves and cacs. Its why they were overpresented as the plantation overseers, slave catchers and eventually, law enforcement.
Race is a social construct, and so as society changes, so does the definition of race. Yes, the Irish are white, in 2023. But not in 1776. They were barely western European back then. They would agree as well.....the Irish hated most Europeans for centuries.
Those were caricatures of that day and they were worse for Black people, Jews and Native Americans.

I think you guys are confusing White with being WASPs. The Irish, Jews, Poles, Italians, etc were not WASPs, but the Irish were clearly White.

That image is literally from a textbook. Race science WAS mainstream science in those days and those pictures were meant to be used in phrenology which is a long discredited science but some idiots are trying to bring race science back.

It's how you get idiots talking about "non fba hairline" or "Jewish features"

You right, Mexicans were drawing swastikas on Black Family's Homes and trying to intimidate them in the 50's and 60's. They want to be accepted by white people so bad. Mother fukkers be darker than you and me claiming white.

Black People better not act surprised, Mexicans been fighting to be recognized as White since the mid-1800s.

Hell, it was an Afro-Mexican who helped Mexico get its independence from Spain, Vincente Guerrero.
Truth. We also gotta understand Latin American racial politics.

The Latino definition of "white" is like the American definition of "Black." In America, if you look remotely Blackish....and are treated as such, you're Black whether you want to be or not.

Whiteness in the United States really means Northwestern/Central Europe + Scandinavian and a Protestant Christian. Whites have evolved that definition to include new groups to keep whiteness from dying. How many Latinos really identify as Afro or Native American? Probably only happens when their physical appearance is so unambiguous that they can't claim otherwise.

Yeah but in those days, WASP for all intents and purposes meant white. Non WASPs were a buffer class...white-ish.

It was a carryover from the Old World of the Catholic vs Protestant hate tbh. English speaking Protestant Americans did not want to be aligned with Gaelic speaking Scots and Irish until they needed them. Irish in particular as the Scots always waffled when it came to the English while the Irish tended to be more consistent in their dislike.

Two more victims idenftifed. Two sisters, 2nd & 4th grade killed. Mother in the hospital.

Daniela and Sofia Mendoza​

Wylie Independent School District emailed their community on Monday to share that two elementary school students died in the shooting.

The district identified the two sisters as 4th-grader Daniela Mendoza and 2nd-grader Sofia Mendoza. The girls' mother, Ilda, is in critical condition, according to Wylie ISD.

Cox Elementary School principal Krista Wilson said the sisters were "rays of sunshine," according to the district's email.

Wylie ISD is leaving it to the parents to tell their children about the Mendozas' passing. Their counseling is also offering services and resources for students, staff, and families.

"Daniela and Sofia will not be forgotten," the district said in their email. "Hug your kids, and tell them you love them."

You're not getting it. Our modern definition of "white" =/= the historical definitions of "white".

Yes, the Irish are white.... in 2023. They weren't always white. They were called "******s of Europe" in the 1800s and up until then, the Irish were regularly enslaved as indentured servants. Part of the reason why many of us have Irish last names and genetics is because we were thrown in the same lot until traditional Western cacs changed their mind in let the Irish in. The same was done with the Italians in the 1700s. The Dutch, in the 1600s.

fukk, Asians were briefly considered white before they started coming here in droves.
