I'm definitely aware of the sordid treatment of the Irish throughout history within and without the US. The Native Americans in the United States had it bad as well (which I think the phrase in the Declaration of Independence "merciless Indian savages" foreshadowed), but oddly, no one seems to care today, and it seems that those today who protest inequality and injustice pretty much cherry-pick in regards to history.
