 * ====Copy and Paste the following questions in your wiki on DAY 3.====
 * 1) Is the term, Paddy Wagon, an Irish Racial Slur?
 * 2) What makes a slur racist or prejudiced? Does it depend on who says it? Or does it depend on who it's being said to?
 * 3) Does the term show Nativism against the Irish today? Why/Why Not?

1.) In my opinion, I believe that Paddy Wagon not a Racial Slur. Paddy Wagon is just a word use to describe a van. It think the two theory makes sense. In the US, there's a large population of Irish people. So there would be many Irish people getting arrested or many Irish people can be police officers.

2.) A slur can be racist or prejudice is when it emotionally hurts someone. It depends on who it's being said to. If you say it to a person that a slur is referring to then it can be offensive. It depends on who said it and who its being said to.

3.) Paddy Wagon show Navitism depends if the person who is being said to is emotionally hurt. ==
