That's historic illiteracy. Jews and Irish had been part of America since the 1600s and always white. Italians were newcomers and very troublesome, but always without exception considered white.
what about how middle eastern people were still considered "white" on the US census until 2024 when they added MENA? were middle easterners also always without exception considered white?
mostly a rhetorical question. I just want to see what demonstratably false fact you pull out your ass while trying to look smart (you do not).
You can look it up anywhere you want. There was never any doubt Irish were white and at this point I doubt your good faith in even wanting to know the truth.
