This is what I was thinking, too. My post was mostly triggered by seeing a photo of an Orange Order march with an Indian person in attendance and I was stunned that the Order tolerated Indians before the Irish.

I’m curious, though. Why aren’t the Troubles taught as an ethnic conflict when it clearly was? Religion didn’t seem like an actually improvement factor in the IRA or UDF. It really seemed like “Catholic” was just a synonym for “Irish” and “Protestant” was a synonym for “Ulster Scot” .
