How the world turns! 100 years ago, an Irish last name in America would relegate you to menial labor with no hope of advancement. Being Catholic (at least in the Sourther USA) would land you with a cross burning in your yard at night.

It seems that if you want to be CEO at my company, you must be a male of Irish decent (all the CEOs of the past 30-40 years have been, maybe even for the complete history of the company and I know who the next one is planned/rumored to be and he fits that too). I'm sure there are still areas or companies that do discriminate the other direction too.
