@depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social thought you might enjoy this section from the "Anti-Irish sentiment" article in which an 8th grader is cited as thoroughly rebutting a claim that the Irish never experienced widespread job discrimination in the US

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Ir...
![From Wikipedia's article on Anti-Irish sentiment:
"Historians have debated about the issue of anti-Irish job
discrimination in the United States. Some of them believe that the "No Irish need apply" (or "NINA") signs were common, but others, such as Richard J. Jensen, believe that anti-Irish job discrimination was not a significant factor in the United States, and they also believe that these signs and print advertisements were posted by the limited number of early 19th-century English immigrants to the United States who believed in the same prejudices that the people of their former homeland believed in. In July 2015 the same journal that published Jensen's 2002 paper published a rebuttal by Rebecca A. Fried, an 8th-grade student at Sidwell Friends School. She listed multiple instances of the restriction used in advertisements for many different types of positions, including "clerks at stores and hotels, bartenders, farm workers, house painters, hog butchers, coachmen, bookkeepers, blackers [tannery workers who blackened leather], workers at lumber yards, upholsterers, bakers, gilders, tailors, and papier mache workers, among others." While the greatest number of NINA instances occurred in the 1840s, Fried found instances for its continued use throughout the subsequent century, with the most recent dating to 1909 in Butte, Montana."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:orzbakk25aba2fxlgiwa3uxe/bafkreifzocjimi54ltnibudmf7anycknv2gg5ewj66ezjes6s35rczcr2m@jpeg)

Hey @anyaustin.bsky.social, a thing:
In the tunnel in Cyberpunk 2077, there's this viewport. I wondered if it was actually rendered on both sides; turns out, it is! I swam out to the location, dropped an item on top of the glass, and went back inside and the item was still visible from inside.
