Yes, they faced discrimination too, but nothing like African Americans and they had a much easier time "passing"
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington
Who was white and who wasn't became obvious during the Jim Crow era, by that time Italians and Irish people were white. Through hard work and studying I'm sure. In all seriousness, gradually as time went on as Irish people became popular athletes during the early 1900s, and politicians people started calling them white.
[QUOTE-eznuts]Reverse Racism Experiment: Do you support a "White Privilege Tax"[/QUOTE]Define 'white' and 'black' in any meaningful ,objective and empirically functional terms you choose, then ask.
Until someone does — and no one has yet — this sort of stupid exercise is just shits stirring shit.

I know my Irish Catholic Gram had some stories, even worse ones from her parents. The big difference was that they could dress up, put on an accent and no one would know they were Irish.
But this is a stupid trolling video.
People who talk about "white privilege" are actually self-identifying as having inferiority issues.
Agreed. Racism against white people is still racism. Calling it "reverse racism" gives it special meaning it doesn't need.
I don't think this video proves anything. Most of those people probably guessed it was a hoax and their signing was more a statement than true racism.
Life was so damn easy during the starving times, be that Virginia prior to 1620 or the Old Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony prior to 1700 or early Nouvelle-France, or being a United Empire Loyalist in the Maritimes or Upper Canada in 1783-1785.
You got pretty quiet, there's a question for you here. https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...ing-Ceremony&p=5301324&viewfull=1#post5301324
No doubt African Americans were poorly treated as were many other ethnic minorities (the Japanese were interned in WW II and all their assets seized but they resumed normal life after the war ended). If Portuguese are considered white, I should tell them about white privilege as they vacuum my office carpet and empty the trash cans. BTW: As badly as African Americans were treated in the U.S. at least 2 million of them did not starve to death .
Yep. Proves it all. Good thing there's no videos around the internet about white people (or presidential candidates) blaming minorities.
