Read the following Articleon the term Paddy Wagons
1. Is the term, Paddy Wagon, an Irish Racial Slur? I don't believe that the Paddy Wagon is a racial slur. Most Irish aren't offended by the term and don't mind it so no harm or damage is done. 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? The hatred and meaning of the slur makes it racist and prejudice. If the slur deliberately points out a flaw of a race, than it is racist. It shouldn't matter who says it or who it is said to. 3. Does the term show Nativism against the Irish today? Why/Why Not? No, because the term isn't meant to offend the Irish and the Irish are not offended by the term.

media type="custom" key="9722056" =Reflection= I believe that the term paddy wagon was racial and offensive back in the 1800s, but not in this era. Back in the 1800s, it was used to show the Irish's lack of self control and manners. It showed that they were drunk and poor. But now, it's a non-offensive term towards the Irish.
