Greetings!
Hey everybody.

I am a proud Irish-American (you may be able to tell from my name!)

I am also a Catholic. Now I know you are already prejudiced against me ( Irish and Catholic.. double whammy!) but hopefully we can have a producitve converstaion.


Slainte!

I used to be Catholic, but I got over it. Welcome all the same.

I like the Irish, and a good portion of my family are Catholics,. I also prefer to judge people individually, not by their affiliations (mostly, there are exceptions, of course).

Welcome. Why would we be prejudiced against you for those reasons alone?

I do too, but unfortunately the world does not think the way you do.

However, perhaps I protest too much. Irish-Catholics have had "white privilege" since well before JFK's election, and the days of being denied opprotunity for "being a Roman Catholic" likely ended around that time too.

Maybe a few NYC country clubs won't let you in but that is about it.

You'd be prejudiced against my Catholocism. A lot of people think Catholics are "dummies" or "Backward" when nothing could be further from the truth.

Look at Barack Obama's attacking those poor little nuns who only don't want to hand out contraception. Being Catholic isn't always easy..

Oh, come now. Most of us don't think those things make you dumb.

We think they make you wrong, but not necessarily dumb.

That, well... we'll have to figure that out going forward! Big Grin

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Soooo... you'll paint everyone with a very broad brush. That's what will make me prejudiced; not the facts that you're Irish or Catholic.

You make the blanket statement that we're all prejudiced against you, and we're the ones who are prejudiced?
