 * ====Copy and Paste the following questions in your wiki on DAY 3.====
 * 1) Is the term, Paddy Wagon, an Irish Racial Slur?
 * 2) What makes a slur racist or prejudiced? Does it depend on who says it? Or does it depend on who it's being said to?
 * 3) Does the term show Nativism against the Irish today? Why/Why Not?

Answers: 1. Some Irish people may find that Paddy Wagon is a racial slur, but in reality, Paddy Wagon is not a racial slur. Some Irish actually find it funny to say Paddy Wagon, and the actual term is not intended to be offensive in any way, but rather to describe an Irish person in a way that they can be known to as other people who are not Irish.

Today, Paddy Wagon is still a police car that was used in order to arrest the Irish.The Irish used to be arrested in these Paddy Wagons and they are still called them today, just really no longer used as racial slurs.

2. What makes a slur racist or prejudiced is when a person is intending to hurt someone in a way that seems wrong to that person. It is usually when the person is not the same race as the person making the racist slur. It depends on who it is being said to in my opinion because if someone says it, they may not know whether or not it is racist, whereas if the person is taking the offense, then they will mark it as a racist slur. 3. No, the term Nativism is not against the Irish today. This is because the Irish today are treated like more regular people, they get more rights, freedoms, and more opportunities. Such opportunities are getting jobs, shelter, food, and actually having freedoms and rights. They are not getting stereotyped as much as the Irish used to be anymore.

1. The author's POV is that they also support Nativism. The Americans captured a "wild beast" and it was an Irish-American. They threw him in jail, therefore it shows that they feared the Irish living in the US. 2. Yes, the source does show Nativism because since the Irish-American got captured and thrown into jail, it shoes that the Americans have a fear of the Irish living in the US. Also, it shows Nativism because there is a man in the corner of the picture and he is shown to be ripping up a newspaper that has "Irish World: An American Advocate of Indiscriminate Murder" which says that the Irish do not want to be discriminated against but they are being discriminated against by the Americans.

I believe that the term Paddy Wagon was a racial slur back in the 1800s, but not anymore. I do not think the Irish take offense to this term anymore. Back in the 1800s, the Irish were described as outrageous and uncontrollable, but not anymore. Nowadays, the Irish are described as normal people.
