Here's a clue: he likely would not have bought such ads if he thought he had no constituency for it. He was playing to the pro-white/anti-black-brown latent racism that still exists here.

To paraphrase George Carlin here...pride should be reserved for things you accomplish, not where you're born or what color you are. As he said, "being Irish isn't a skill".
