[quote Arraya]An interesting comparison in sub-cultures is the Scots-Irish. The Scots-Irish were predominately farmers in the appalachian and southern united US pre-WWII. After the war with industrialization and the consolidation of the farming industry they moved into factories(like blacks) and with the advent of outsourcing had their lively hood taken away again.
Now they predominately work at Wall Marts and meth labs, have no insurance, high crime rates, high rates of teen pregnancy, no high-school degree, etc… Which are now turning into kind of a tweaked-out hillbilly gangster culture with creepy strains of dominionism christianity throughout.[/quote]
Excuse me?? You have to be joking. You might want to have some numbers back that up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_American
Joe Biden, Kennedy, Andrew Jackson, Grant.. They may have started ‘back country’..
