Was it common for Catholic Immigrants (Irish, Italian, Pole, etc.) in the USA to convert to protestantism to avoid discrimination?
DESU none of the catholic ethnicities imported to the US have actually assimilated
>>17272273Probably. Unless they were in a big city around a lot of fellow catholics. Did you know the KKK version 2.0 actually formed to combat them and was a primarily Northern flavor version?
>>17272273Discriminating based on such things in the 20th century especially would have been seen as weird. If you were some type of Christian or Jewish you were like 99% of other Americans until the fake and gay financialization era. LARPer Irishmen like Biden will cling to obscure incidents from like the early 1800's for oppression points. This is more of an identity crisis among NE WASPs and those in their broken cultural fold specifically. The same reason he is the first American president to call himself an Irishman unironically, despite being an American and given every advantage and making a family fortune in politics.
America is a Brythonic civilization on steroids that hates and rejected its Anglo-Norman Romantic founding fathers
>>17272277They assimilated with each other after the Protestants sent blacks in to rape them to death
>>17272273The northern Californian pacific coast must be heaven.
>>17272273It wasn't unheard of. The only Catholic in my family tree is a Protestant convert.
>>17272273Some of them did, the immense majority didn't
>>17272296Wops do the same shit when they claim they were lynched because of Racism. In New Orleans they got lynched because a group of mobsters murdered a police officer with a sawed off shotgun and Sacco and Vanzetti were terrorist scum who had it coming
>>17272273More than 50% of Irish in America are protestant. I think a number of protestant Irish came over along with ulster Scots forgetting their actual roots
>>17272277they absolutely have I'd say the only one that's maintained any sort of otherness are italian-americans and it's A:primarily confined to those in the northeast and chicago and B:only in a few aspects like cultural valuesthe only thing differing a polish catholic in Scranton from the average american is in cuisine, same with others like the irish
>>17272771>cuisinewhat do polish-americans eat?
>>17272277It was never the country of anglo/protestant whatever they just stole it from the people already living there who they killed. I love how all the time the anglo wasp heritage is being chipped away. In 100 years it'll be as if it never existed hahaha
>>17272296I live in America and today lots of Protestants don't see Catholics as Christians. I see it in real life so don't tell me it doesn't happen.
>>17272558My ulster scot ancestors came to the us in the 17th century and after the revolution settled in the south. Catholics are not christians but idolators, the pope an antichrist
