the irish depiction is pretty accurate though.

and a nationality means a shared identity, so one could say any race is a nationality.

but yeah irish is a race AND a nationality. to be irish is to be so feckin’ special it should be unique to both just to cover all the bases and not be lumped in with all the lesser races. like, the english!

Doesn’t the word negro or negra mean black in Spanish & Portuguese and hence the term Negro to mean a black person was adopted from that word?

Negro candy comes from former Yugoslavia and it is used by Yugo-ex-pats to establish good neighborly relations (mostly in US and Canada). Here’s the proof: http://shrani.si/files/negrohu4vp99.jpg

Wow, that looks like a fucking ShopVac, and in my experience when you have to bust out the ShopVac, no bright cheery color or cartoon face is gonna make anything better. Zounds.
