Subject: RE: BS: 'Poor Whites' in the Southern States
Oh dear.
"I have heard - don't ask me for citations, though - that the 'Scotch-Irish' are now the poorest ethnic group in America."
Guest JTT, I respectfully suggest that you look further into the issue rather than forward that observation without something approaching an information source. I would be very interested in your findings. There are so many ethnic groups who could be considered "winners" in any poverty contest one feels compelled to conduct here in the USA.
I appreciate the time you spent with your teaching suggestions for alanabit.
