Yeh, but its more than that. There's a stupid culture among many of the "Shanty Irish" which reinforces blue collar values. You'll see very few WASPS or Jews waxing nostalgic about living in row homes with armies of underfed children. And you'll never see a sensible Jew or WASP follow blindly the edicts of his faith (fundamentalists from both groups excluded). Catholicism is uniquely evil in its goal of keeping its followers down and beholden to its guidelines. What other religion preaches that the poorer you are, the better you are, yet keeps its own 10 billion-plus capitalized bank?
I recognize very well why the folks at the golf course did not want my kind so many years ago, and although it sounds awful, I can't disagree with them. We needed to grow up and it took a few generations for the better of us to develop the independence of thought necessary to interact properly in society.
