"His own people?" Don't be so sure, I'd lay money that he's Jewish. Most people who hold these kind of views are, it seems.

Stop with the race politics. It doesn't belong in American political discourse.

The hyphenated surname would indicate that either his parents were Italian+Irish or he is married to someone of either Italian or Irish extraction.

Maher is a name of differing origins, it may refer to:


Etymologies[edit]
An Arabic (written in Arabic ماهر) given name and surname meaning "skillful" or "talented" or "expert." In Arabic context, it is pronounced "Maa-her."

Persian adjective for "professional." See Mahir.

Also an individual can be referred or described as "Maher" in the language context of Albanians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Bosnians, Gorani, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs, Romanians, and Aromanians, although not used frequently or in everyday language.

Irish
Maher (or Mahar, Meagher) is an Irish surname deriving from the Gaelic O'Meachair, meaning the "kindly" or the "generous". The O'Meachair sept was part of the Ely O'Carroll clan and was concentrated in the areas of Kilkenny and Tipperary, notably the Barony of Ikerrin in Ireland. It is pronounced Ma-her.

As to hyphenated surnames, this was common during the heyday of "womyn's liberation," now called feminism. Ever hear of Bill Maher?

I had professors say similar things when I was in college. This one suggested that all whites should mate with the blacks so that they'd combine to form one race. If everyone was bi-racial then there would be no more race wars was his train of thought. He somehow forgot that there were more races/ethnicities than just black and white. It was so bizarre I couldn't think of a response at the time.

There once was a day when racist bigots that call for genocide would not be working at an American university. Those days are past-it seems as if nearly a job requirement these days.
