Note-I’m not claiming the Irish had it anywhere nearly as bad as the NA’s, but that’s not the point. The point is there IS a history of discrimination against the Irish in this country, and you don’t hear them complaining.

100 years ago when immigrants were fleeing famine in Ireland and taking American jobs. But now, the Irish have it easy today. The vast majority want to be of Irish ancestry. Being Irish is in no way a negative in America today.
