HEY QUESTION I'M OF IRISH DESCENT EVEN MY NAME IS GAELIC BUT WHAT IS THIS WHOLE IRISH POC THING??
Okay, the specific issue is actually quite old at this point, but since that post is still getting notes for some reason I’ll talk about it.
Basically, SJWs were trying to push this idea that because the Irish and Scottish people have been oppressed in the past, that meant they were “poc” (I fucking hate that term it’s utter garbage). Because in their minds, if someone’s been oppressed because of their race/nationality that makes them not-white. They were essentially trying to erase the feelings of two ethnicities who saw themselves as white by saying they weren’t, because only non-white people can be oppressed.
Of course, now they’ve just gone back to saying that the Irish weren’t oppressed because they’re white. They can’t make up their fucking minds.
