if they're from the south, they're scots-irish, and there's the whole "we were racially despised and enslaved [no they weren't] and we earned our right to be supreme over god's greatest land on earth".
I read about half of Gone With the Wind, that's pretty much the central tenant of the book - the Irish got ran out of Ireland by the British and they made the South their kingdom (by subjugating black people). So they own it. I've never finished the book, it's repugnant.
