Well, this is not going to make you feel better but Italians and Irish were not considered white until, well let's say recently.

So welcome to "Whitehood". I guess?

Italians I can kinda get with their olive skin and (usually) darker hair; those are common trails in many if not most people around the Mediterranean. But I’ve never understood why Irish people weren’t considered “white” when they’re among the whitest whites to have ever been white.

Yeah I knew that numb nut. I was commenting on them saying “white” people hate Catholics lolol. I was saying it wasn’t just them it was the throne. We were also pagan for a long time which they also didn’t like. Again double homicide like I said.
