        Imagine thinking that John F. Kennedy wasn't white enough to be president.

        was the "lace curtain district" reference meant to be a dig at his Irishness in general, or to undermine his Irishness among the poorer Irish?

        Are you going to discus how, because JFK was Catholic, he took orders directly from the Pope? Catholics would take over the country & Protestants would be persecuted because reasons. This was a hot topic at the Lutheran Church I attended.

        The intolerance faced by JFK in 1960 is largely forgotten today. But it was real, and severe.
