Irish people were considered (not terribly long ago, mid-to-late 19th century) by English & American intellectuals (teaching at Ivy League Universities, lol, some things never change!) in some instances to not even be fully human...but as a kind of "missing-link" type of ape.
Irish people were also used as slave labor and were actually treated WORSE than black slaves. Black slaves in America were also FAR better off than slaves owned in Islamic societies--which is why we see large #'s of blacks in America but not in Muslim nations.
The shit that passes for informed commentary (like this article by veralynn) these days on serious matters is fucking appalling and is really nothing more than modern biases (once again ultimately disseminated by university-level intellectuals w/an agenda) being parroted by ignoramuses/useful idiots like veralynn who simply don't know better.
