I suppose because the Protestant presence in Northern Ireland is blatantly imperialist from a historical perspective. I mean, there's no defense for the Plantation of Ulster, regardless of your position otherwise.

Most Ulster Presbyterians are not descended from the Plantation, anyways.

Not to mention that happened so long ago as to be relevant today. Might as well mention Oliver Cromwell.

Well, he was nasty, too.

One could say the same of the Trail of Tears. Yet you seem to have a lot of sympathy for Native Americans.
