My dad's side is Welsh and English too, (Monmouthshire & Gloucestershire).
My mother's mother was from Tipperary, Ireland while her father was from Dublin and possibly of Scottish stock, both protestants who felt obliged to move to Northern Ireland for their personal safety.
English on both, but we have Scandinavians on my father's mother's side of the family. DAR and UDC, though we had family members on both sides of both conflicts.
And on a late Saturday when the house is quiet, I'm infrequently part Scotch.

Irish on my Dad's, Russian and Polish on my mother's.
Whilst those Irish that survived the famine had to move to America for their personal safety....
I remember as a kid, getting a letter from Hungary, and the stamp said "Magyar Posta." Puzzled me for a long time.
I have a Hungarian friend, who was for a while engaged to my oldest son. She says that Hungarians have a saying; "If you have a sore foot and one of your friends steps on it, he's Hungarian."

So what I'm hearing is that we are almost a bunch of white people.
Not a very diverse crowd, are we?

It would be pretty foolish to consider TOL membership as a good sample of Americans.
Paul's letter to the Ephesians is the most correct doctrine for you.

Yes, I gather that a great many Irish went to other lands at the time just to survive, not just America. Parts of my family ended up in Canada, while another in Flint Mi, having done some research on line, but the famine forced many Catholics to move.
My mother's family had a farm and servants, probably as a reward to one of Oliver Cromwell's junior officers I gather. I don't think that the local Catholics were particularly impressed by protestant landowners. :nono:
Racist people can't help but see through a race filter.
English and German on both parental sides. Mr M arrived on the boat in Baltimore harbor in 1703.

Yeah, I'm a white guy with a Native American/Mexican wife and mixed race kids. I'm clearly a racist.
Please don't feed the troll.:chuckle:
And yeah, you sound like a card-carrying member of the KKK. For shame, sir.:dizzy:
