Immigration

__**Day 4**__ 1. __Is the term, Paddy Wagon, an Irish Racial Slur?__ -The term Paddy Wagon is not an Irish racial slur, even though some may be offended by it. Martin Luther King used the term and his whole life he was devoted to fighting prejudice. 2. __What makes a slur racist or prejudiced? Does it depend on who says it? Or does it depend on who it's being said to?__ -A word becomes a racial slur depending on who is saying it and who they are saying it to. If a black man called another black man the "N" word, no one would think anything of it, but if a white man called a black man the "N" word, it is a huge scene. The tone they say it in also contributes. 3.__Does the term show Nativism against the Irish today? Why/Why Not?__ -Yes it does because the way some people use it today, shows that they are against Irish and their immigration.

Revisit of Task 1- 1) __Is the term, Paddy Wagon, an Irish Racial Slur?__ I changed my opinion, I do think Paddy Wagon is a racial slur because it means "a van used by police for taking suspects into custody", so when someone calls an Irishman that, it implies that that person thinks Irish people break the laws and aren't civilized.
