I think it's more "Irish people were oppressed, now they're not, what makes black people so unable to do the same? They must be actually inferior"

To be fair, if someone sent their kids to my table in a restaurant to eat my food, I'd tell them, "No," too. If you want your kids to try a food, buy a small serve. Of course, I'd probably also manage to say it without the implied autistic screeching of the person in psutify's post.

It was the most awkward thing ever, with everyone (particularly the guys) trying to act like they were totally chill and unaffected by the porn.

Facebook Aunt posted:They didn't exist in America. There was some legit anti-Irish sentiment in the UK though. Not sure if that counted as 'racism' or not since a lot of it was religious prejudice. One precocious 8th grader disagrees! quote:Historians have hotly debated the issue of anti-Irish job discrimination in the United States. Some insist that the "No Irish need apply" signs were common, but one professor, Richard J. Jensen, argues that anti-Irish job discrimination was not a significant factor in the United States, these signs and print advertisements being most commonly posted by the limited number of early 19th-century English immigrants to the United States who shared the prejudices of their homeland.[14] However, in July 2015 the same journal that published Jensen's 2002 paper published an extensive rebuttal by Rebecca A. Fried, an 8th-grade student at Sidwell Friends School.[27][28][29] She discovered multiple instances of the restriction used in advertisements for many different types of positions, including "“clerks at stores and hotels, bartenders, farm workers, house painters, hog butchers, coachmen, bookkeepers, blackers, workers at lumber yards, upholsterers, bakers, gilders, tailors, and papier mache workers, among others.” While the greatest number of NINA instances occurred in the 1840s, Fried found evidence for its continued use throughout the subsequent century, with the most recent dating to 1909 in Butte, Montana.

goose willis posted:"Someone said a mean thing about Irish people once, and Irish people are white, and I am white, and therefore racism doesn't exist and/or works both ways" Look at this guy, calling the Irish 'White'. I think part of the rationale is that groups like Irish and Italians were discriminated against, but they assimilated and everyone was happy. Ignoring the fact America didn't really want Blacks to assimilate and instead actively appropriated aspects of their culture while continuing to lock them out of the larger society.

Yeah, that's the whole point they're missing. They got treated like poo poo because they "weren't quite white." Their current status isn't due to them bootstrapping themselves out of poverty, it's because "oh, I guess you do count as white" happened.

They think that since none of their friends and family care (because they're probably racist too) that society shouldn't care. Alternatively: white privilege

I have a subscription to a newspaper archive service and it's not hard to find it scattered about. Before the 1880s you can find it in the classifieds. After the 1880s it becomes a lot more common to find it talked about in a historical sense. But it wasn't limited to the Irish either. In five minutes I found. Only German St. Louis Post-Dispatch Sep, 24 1899  No tramps, negroes, or Mexicans. San Antonio Light Feb 18, 1884  German, Swedish, or Norwegian, no Irish. Chicago Daily Tribune, Jul 27, 1879  No whites Lawrence Dail Lawrence Daily World, 29 Jul 1903 I found a few of these, but they were all articles discussing black people not hiring white people not classifieds, and they tended toward racist as hell.  And my personal favorite a want ad for voters, no Irish need apply. Chicago Daily Tribune Oct 30 1878
