Is he sure about his relations?
Irish Catholics were popular targets for stereotyping in the 19th century. According to historian George Potter, the media often stereotyped the Irish in America as being boss-controlled, violent (both among themselves and with those of other ethnic groups), voting illegally, prone to alcoholism and dependent on street gangs that were often violent or criminal. Potter quotes contemporary newspaper images:
"You will scarcely ever find an Irishman dabbling in counterfeit money, or breaking into houses, or swindling; but if there is any fighting to be done, he is very apt to have a hand in it." Even though Pat might "'meet with a friend and for love knock him down,'" noted a Montreal paper, the fighting usually resulted from a sudden excitement, allowing there was "but little 'malice prepense' in his whole composition." The Catholic Telegraph of Cincinnati in 1853, saying that the "name of 'Irish' has become identified in the minds of many, with almost every species of outlawry," distinguished the Irish vices as "not of a deep malignant nature," arising rather from the "transient burst of undisciplined passion," like "drunk, disorderly, fighting, etc., not like robbery, cheating, swindling, counterfeiting, slandering, calumniating, blasphemy, using obscene language, &c."
After allâŚ
The stereotype of the Irish as violent drunks has lasted well beyond its high point in the mid-19th century. For example, President Richard Nixon once told advisor Charles Colson that â[t]he Irish have certain â for example, the Irish canât drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish Iâve known gets mean when he drinks. Particularly the real Irish.â
During the period of mass immigration to the United States, Italians suffered widespread discrimination in housing and employment. They were often victims of prejudice, economic exploitation, and sometimes even violence, particularly in the South. Italian stereotypes abounded as a means of justifying this maltreatment of the immigrants. The print media greatly contributed to the stereotyping of Italians with lurid accounts of secret societies and criminality. Between 1890 and 1920, Italian neighborhoods were often depicted as violent and controlled by criminal networks. Two highly publicized cases illustrate the impact of these negative stereotypes:
Side-note: Just becauseâŚ
Seeing how Thom Yorke was correct in regards to this world just coming out of the swamp, Iâm going to stock up on liquor now. Now Iâm not Irish or Italian, but I have a funny feeling that its going to be a long weekend.

During an interview with Fox Newsâ Sean Hannity on Thursday night, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) continued to rail against President Obama for continuing to support the U.S. plan to bring Syrian refugees to the U.S., noting that terrorists would be encouraged to lie by the âreligious philosophy in Islamismâ in order to enter the U.S. posing as a refugee.
Whoâs the sponsor of Sean Hannityâs show? The KKK?

âHe said, gosh, his ancestors were Irish and Italian and we didnât block him,â Cruz told Hannity. âAnd I responded to Pat Leahy and I said, âYou know what, on my motherâs side, my ancestors were Irish and Italian. The difference was, they werenât coming here to blow up and murder innocent civilians.ââ
If I were playing Devilâs advocate, I would note that the Mafia had different ideas. Also, is Senator Cruz aware of âIrish Need Not Applyâ?
