"South Boston used to be a stronghold of white trash "
Excuse me?
Are you from Southie - pal?
Southie is a massive section of Boston filled with hard working descent blue collar folks. Many of whom are my relatives.
You don't know a damned thing about Southie or about the massive numbers of residents past and present who are veterans.
The people of Southie fought the entire Massachusetts homosexual agenda when the gays thought they'd go ahead and march in the annual St. Patricks Day parade. Southie won that fight. Not even the mayor of Boston shows up for the parade anymore due to the ruling - he doesn't dare piss off the homo voting block of Boston.
Southie is also home to a huge number of Irish Americans and has been for decades. You'll still find many recent arrivals from Ireland in the neighborhood.
Southie is filled with good people.

Southie is one of the few urban areas in the northeast (the only one I know of, being from New York) where you have white folks living in housing projects collecting welfare. Are there good hard working folks there? Absolutely, just as in Roxbury and Dorchester. Are there alot of lowlifes there? You bet your a-s!
