> In my room hangs an authentic "Help
Wanted, no Irish need apply" sign. It's not
there because i'd never take on an Irish
person as a roommate. It's there to remind
me of our nation's past, so that i'll strive not to
live that way.

I've certainly heard about the prejudice against
Irish immigrants in the past, but I've never
understood what it stemmed from. Can
anyone enlighten me?
