I have no argument. :)   My point in bringing up Irish, Italians, and Eastern Europeans was not that they are not white...it's just that at one point, their immigration to this nation was something generally claimed to ruin or pollute the cultural character of this nation. The main problem the Anglo Americans had with Irish, Italians and Eastern Europeans like the Polish was because of their religion. They were mostly Catholic. The Anglo Americans were Protestant. The Protestant Irish who came to America did not face much if any discrimination, it was only the Catholics who faced such harsh discrimination.
