Or rock, blues, house, country, etc. I think white people can solidly claim bagpipe dirges though, as long as the racists think Scottish people are white enough.

The Scottish and Italians not being white, I just could never understand. XD Racism's some crazy work.

The Irish weren't for awhile, either. What's really wild is this case where an Indian man argued that he was white due to being Aryan, but the Supreme Court ruled that his argument did not contain a "common sense" definition of whiteness. So, the highest court in the land determined that whiteness is purely based on vibes.

Wow, I had no idea that case existed. It really shows how dumb the concept of race is.
