Because most people then were White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, and having a bunch of Ginger Celtic Papists around upset them. ETA: and because the Italians and Slavs hadn't arrived yet. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

I had a Italian friend that we called a Wop to harass him. He's always correct us and say he was a Dago, because Wops are from southern Italy. On my side we're part Jock and part Squarehead.

"The Irish slave trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as slaves to the New World. The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white. From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well." John Martin, "The Irish Slave Trade-The Forgotten "White" Slaves". |

I was just reading some shit posted by Mcaullay Caulkin (the looney ex child star) about how he was ashamed of his ancestors because they were "mostly Irish immigrants and probably pretty racist".

My family came to America in 1611. Prior to that they were suppressing the Irish in Ireland. My ancestor was English but was given a castle by Queen Elizabeth in Ireland after he massacred a bunch of the Irish who lived on the lands there. At one point he pulled some shit that was pretty similar to the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones; called a peace conference and then barred the doors and murdered everyone. The Irish got their revenge though: they hung him and one of his sons from a big tree (I think he used the same tree to hang Irishmen IIRC). Pretty fucked up family history.

They are inclined to sloth, indolence, crime, family violence and drunkeness.
Also, a lot of them have short pudgy fingers, and they are poor at math. But, still, some of my best friends are Irish. |

Quoted: The part immediately following that is why the North won the war: no matter how many Feds you shot down they could(unconstitutionally) keep their ranks filled with fresh meat for the grinder. The war was about time, not tactics. The South could never replace men anywhere near that rate with the Naval blockade in place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jcvpEOl9ug The men in the video were mid war replacements for the 69th N.Y., more commonly known as "The Irish Brigade".
