Why did Germans, Irish, Italians, etc get to become "White"?

[ba'al]

Yeah anglo-saxons didn't like Celtic cacs because they were usually catholics and not protestants as well as their physical features being negligible from their own.

Check "Gangs of New York" if you want an entertaining account but nah... Irish people love talking about how they were 'slaves' too

How the Irish Became White

 

[Fillerguy]

Ur asking why pale faced western Europeans are considered white? Is this a joke.

 

[bnew]

Ignatiev traces the tattered history of Irish and African-American relations, revealing how the Irish used labor unions, the Catholic Church and the Democratic party to help gain and secure their newly found place in the White Republic. He uncovers the roots of conflict between Irish-Americans & African-Americans & draws a powerful connection between the embracing of white supremacy & Irish "success" in 19th century American society.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Any non black racial group willing to promote and enforce white supremacy will be accepted as white.

This is the basis of the hold your own nuts movement basically other groups asking the black community for help in assimilating to white supremacy.

 

[Gains]

historically at one point each of those groups have been discriminated against

 

[fckyoupayme]

Irish, German, and Italian people were able to assimilate into mainstream White American culture because over time they lost their accents and resembled the white people who had been here longer. Additionally, they replaced their cultural traditions with those of White America.

It’s just like others have said; even if they came from somewhere else they have always been white.

 

[TNOT]

THE SAME REASON MEXICANS AND OTHER WHITE HISPANICS WILL BE FULLY ACCEPTED AS WHITE 20 YRS FROM NOW.

ITS A NUMBERS GAME.

ANYTIME THEY SEE THEIR POPULATION NUMBERS SHRINKING THEY BRING A NEW GROUP OF CACS INTO THE FOLD.

End fukking thread.

I think OP was referring to the History of Anglo-Saxon whites not considering Irish people as one of their own in early american history.

 

[intruder]

Just saw a comment that made me wonder. All these separate lineages came under the banner of "White" and here we are today, and they all work to spite us.

Donald Trump is of German descent
Mitch McConnell is of Irish Descent
etc

They always been white.

You're one of those clowns who think only white Anglo-saxons are 'white'? all Caucasians fall under the white umbrella, doggy.

 

[TNOT]

Whites play the numbers games.

Its there way to continue to maintain population dominance in america.

They will be claiming biracials soon the one who look like lonzo ball and patrick mahomes or blake griffin

I agree

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Y'all are basically saying they're "White" because they're white and that shyt ain't adding up as well as it sounds

ON SOME HISPANIC shyt A HUNDRED YRS AGO.
SOME WERE EVEN LYNCHED...

Because they are all secretly Edomites/Yaquubians. They know this though.

There aren't separate ethnicities of white as much as different tribal lineages that claimed stakes to land/wealth.

I mean half of the European languages are the same three language families, with the only exception being Basque.

The real answer is the period between 1924 and 1965. Americans of Western European (and Protestant) descent turned on non wasps, passed immigration act of 1924 to reduce amount of non desirable immigrants. Said that the jews, italians,irish,etc weren't assimilating into mainstream American culture because of flood of people from their nationalities/cultures into the country.

Without new countrymen coming in, the assimilation process was sped up for the white ethnics that were here. They intermarried more and blended more into white mainstream society........switched religions, anglicized names,etc

When the Civil Right Bills passed, and discrimination was made illegal technically, they took advantage of new education and occupation opportunities previously blocked to them.....and fully integrated into mainstream white American culture.
