Dafuq?

That ****s my point up.

Oh well. Yeah those Italian and Irish immigrants weren’t slave holders. I’ll just concede that point since I blew the bait and switch.

My ancestry is French Canadian. Philip Mudd's is Italian.

Still not sure what your point is.

I didn’t have a good point. That’s why I was going to try to distract you into defending your Irish ancestry. I thought you were Irish and nothing pisses off Bostonian Micks than saying they aren’t even Irish.

Boston = Irish.

You're a racist.

Irish you wouldn't use that word so loosely.

I know you were trying to get a bite and failed but I see what you're saying about the 'I'm irish' thing. Find it a bit odd myself.

Read this article recently when trying to find out how many British were of Irish descent - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1224611.stm
