Cause they were already partially converted by British colonization. The Irish were papists just like the Italians.

You are proposing the Irish were whiter so they got treated better? That ignores the times in which they were not treated better. I don’t think you can construct a clear line through this data.

Why have I seen a job application from the 1980s where the applicant could mark down “Caucasoid: Northern European” “Caucasoid: Asian Indian/Middle Eastern” and “Caucasoid: Italian/Southern European”

I don’t think the hirer cared much about papism

I can’t begin to guess. Is a sample size of one idiot a useful data set for considering American society? Usually not.

I have Italian friends whose parents couldn’t find houses in WASP neighborhoods, this is a weird hill to die on. Most people can tell the difference between a group of Sicilians and a group of Irish. It’s not hard.
