lmao this fucking trashass blog

"the irish wouldnt know anything about oppression, would they, tumblr?"

okay the irish were discriminated against maybe very early on but you know they did a fucking good job of gaining “whitehood” by villainizing poc so

literally during the civil war the draft riots in the north were by the irish who didn’t want to fight to end slavery

and they took it out on free black citizens by burning down their businesses and churches and literally beating black people in the streets THEY LITERALLY BURNED DOWN A BLACK ORPHANAGE BUT NOT BEFORE STEALING BEDDING AND OTHER ITEMS FROM SAID ORPHANAGE

but yeah

no totally the discrimination that the irish faced for being catholic and poor is totally the same as racism
