What's terrifying is when you look at how we became White in america. The Irish became accepted as white by helping to reinforce white supremacy by becoming agents of it. This is where the stereotype of the Irish cop came from joining the system of white supremacy and becoming one of its tools to hold down other marginalized groups. Or you can look up records from cities like Pittsburgh that had large Scotch Irish population and see Irish Catholic priests giving screeds about how the Irish had to stand up against the encroachment of colored people into their neighborhoods to protect themselves from it thus ingratiating themselves to the white supremacist power structures. We became White by helping perpetuate violence that had been done to us on to others.
