You can always find something that happened one time or the other. Always. Typical class war incited by the powers that be. My grandfather would have known nothing of that since he was living in a place that didn't have running water much less lights until the early forties. He wasn't educated beyond the fifth grade when he was required to start working.
By the way you are seeing the same mechanism at work today pitting leftist against liberal. When are you going to stop being a tool to those in power?
The point I'm making is that you having Irish descent has absolutely nothing to do with the topic, and that Irish people can be just as racist as any other white ("pure inbreds") people, so why bring it up at all?
Having Irish descent isn't special, and doesnt give you any special insight to relate to what actual non-white people face.
Sincerely, an actual Irish person from Ireland.
