Ed Waffle Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 A quick note to Brendan McCarthy and Mashinka (with apologies, if appropriate, to Alexandra). I can see where the last paragraph of the post in question can be seen as anti-Irish or anti-Irish dance, which it wasn’t meant to be. Four of my great-grandparents were born in the Emerald Isle and the neighborhood in which I grew up on the South Side of Chicago was an Irish enclave surrounded by other ethnic-American enclaves (Greek, Mexican, African). The faux-Irish “entertainment” that has flooded the U. S. in the past few decades is what I would exclude, with Michael Flately being just the worst example. Link to comment
Alexandra Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Ed, thanks for posting that here, and not on the other thread. I'm going to close it, though. I just do not want to get into ethnic debates on the board. Link to comment
