That's kinda crazy to think about for me. I guess that's how it might be throughout the US and Canada outside the Northeast and Chicago then? I can see why that would be annoying.
I'm just saying, in Mass if you're white and 1/8th anything, that's getting zero play. Especially if it's Irish. Because in Mass if you're only 1/8th Irish, you're
highly likely to be Italian or Portuguese or French-Canadian or a mix of the three as well, and that's who you self-identify with.
I get the impression whites from the Northeast hold on to ethnic identities more than in other parts of the country.
