HELLO

Just a tidbit, did you know the term, “Paddy Wagon” is actually an ethnic slur created by WASPS during the 1850′s? Due mainly to the potato famine, Irish Immigration rose greatly in America, specifically Philadelphia. The term was coined due to the frequency of police caravans carrying Irishman versus the other whites in the area. How would niggers feel if it was called the Nigger Wagon?
