Yes, & obtaining whiteness cuts you off from ever dealing with your own cultural trauma.
Once you're white, you have to act like it was all okay.
Irish-Americans are still pretty fucked up. The cultural trauma festers in our family lives, unnamed bc we're now "white."

Cultural trauma isn’t just what happened
It’s what was never said. Silence in immigrant homes, pressure to succeed, shame passed down like heirlooms.
Healing begins when we stop pretending survival is the same as living.

I translated taxes and insults while pretending I belonged. Suitcase weighed 10 lbs. The silence, 10 tons.
Immigration trauma leaves ghosts that speak every language but home.

There's a deep wound in the Irish spirit.
For them back in Ireland, some recognition & healing has come.
We in the diaspora need to address that trauma. We've pretended we're OK since becoming "white."
But we're not, & it's OK to say so.
