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.

I'm from NY and am 1/8 (Ulster) Irish but never identity as such; mostly Italian and English. People here in Texas almost never identify with their ethnicity. My wife doesn't even know hers.
