What was with all the Irish hate in America?

>>2977694
They were papists

They were foreign, and they had a dumb singsongy accent, also low education/ dimwitted , there were also a lot of them

however, at least they weren't short and brown

>>2977694
Poor catholics are a bane to society. Luckily they had a work ethic and took good jobs in law enforcement, fire fighting, etc., and made something of themselves. Assimilated, you might say.

>>2977722
Don't worry
Mexicans will be the majority soon.

>>2977727

their major advantage was that they could somewhat already speak the English language

1. Very few Irish immigrants to the US spoke English, and Irish is quite a guttural harsh-sounding language
2. They were majority Catholic which was treated with quite a lot of suspicion
3. Irish people at the time dressed quite distinctively so they stood out

>>2977730

you can't be the majority when your entire county has less population than the country you're infecting

>>2977727
>Assimilated, you might say.
Yeah, having the same skin color and most of the same facial features as the dominant culture helps with that, one or two generations in, once the accent and the more dramatic cultural disconnects are gone.

>>2977730

no they wont, that would require putting effort in

>>2977733
This wasn't really the case until much later on. During the biggest waves of Irish immigration in the 19th century Latin was more widely spoken amongst the poor Irish than English was.

>>2977741
le what

>>2977751
Not him but I've heard a similar anecdote and it makes sense. I think it might be Jonathan Swift who commented on it. The sort of Irish who immigrated to America didn't have any exposure to English at all, but they'd have exposure to Latin several times a week.

>>2977751
In his History of Ireland from Ancient Times until the Present Day, Edward Alfred Dalton remarks that barely any members of the Irish Parliament could speak English in the 1600s, and they were agents of the English crown, so most likely the povertous Irish who emigrated to America wouldn't have been able to speak it much better.

Just look at German-americans and how much shit they got. They were forced to renounce their culture and change their names once WW1 hit. A couple guys who spoke German in public were lynched.

Americans hated Catholics, since colonial times up to JFK, who was accused of being not legally able to be president because Catholics would take orders from the Pope.

>>2977902

only because Germany went to war against the world, engaged in submarine warfare against americans, and tempted america's neighbors to attack them in treachery

>>2977694
They were catholics and weren't "white"

>>2977902
American Protestants are the worst.

>>2977902
>t. Hans Frederick Otto Müller

>>2977694

Irish and Catholics were not non-white and hated since the begginig, that come later when Americans started doubting about their own witheness and began calling other non-whites to feel better about themselves.

>>2977694
Have you ever met an Irishman?

>>2977913
>weren't "white"
That's a myth.

>>2977741
no, they heard latin once a week at mass, it was more likely they spoke gaelic, but even then that is a stretch

>>2977948
Can't say that I have

>>2977944

Black people used to be called smoked-Irish. Because Blacks were seen as like the Irish but with black skin.

Stop this memery.

>>2977986

I said that Irish were white, then they were labelles as non-white cause that´s what Americans do.

>>2977909

Oh, people hated the Germans long before that. Just look at the know-nothing party.

Heck, prohibition was partly established because many protestant rural-folk wanted to talk the alcohol away from the Catholic city-folk, whom they saw as degenerate and ruining America.

>>2977730

That's what people have been saying about Catholic immigrants since America was first founded.

this pretty much

>>2978005
They weren't labeled non-white at any point of their history in America. And it's easily provable by the fact they were eligible for naturalization, per laws only white people could get naturalized.

>>2977737
>what is having kids

Mostly the Catholic thing. But as someone who is Cajun and grew up Catholic in Louisiana dont lump us in with them. The Irish deserve the hate. They are traitors and hypocrits every last one. Literally sided with Hitler.

>What was with all the Irish hate in America?

Most Irish were catholics- And the KKK hates catholics. Same with italians

British propaganda had spent centuries telling everyone the Irish were backwards savages, then enslaving or conscripting them.

Pretty much every complaint people had about blacks, or mexicans, or Italians.

The only difference is that Italians and irish started getting jobs as police,fire, etc. So it's a lot harder to discriminate when they can arrest you and beat the fuck out of you behind a dumpster because you called them a mick or a guido

>>2977916
>American Protestants are the worst.
They've literally sponged off the work of every other people to set foot on american soil, while complaining those hard working groups were ruining america

>>2978109
It's crazy how the Irish took over the and utilized the police force. I remember reading an article when some Mick mobster wanted to get rid of some Slavs, so he sent an Irish cop to their neighborhood to harass them until they got fed up with his shit, beat him up and dumped him into a river.

>>2978109

Ironically, the Irish and Italians and such became police officers because nobody else wanted the dirty job of beating up Irish and Italian people.

>>2978127
Being a police officer is a shit job. Think of how shitty a situation has to be for a cop to be called in. But the pay is good, it has decent benefits, and confers respect. Which makes it perfect for a demographic that's hard-working but socially undesirable.

A lot of them also bought extra-hard into the American Dream, so being a cop was seen as a civic duty. If you got to help your cousin out of a jam? So much the better.

Add on to that how many Irish/Italian men served in the military with honors, and worked New Deal work programs building parks, bridges, etc., and it's a recipe for telling stuffy WASPs to sucka dick.

>>2978148
Anglos are like kikes, they shun manual labor, are soft, physically weak and effeminate as fuck and always use others to do their bidding. Those Anglos in America who actually worked hard and weren't pampered spoiled sissies - the southerners - all had a significant degree of Scottish, Welsh and protestant Irish blood, not pure English.

>>2978123

even with their clown car vaginas, mexicans aren't the only ones that have children

>>2978184
Hey relax friend. WASPs have bad blood pressure after all. It's not your fault almost all of America's Greatness comes from hard-working immigrants.

Southern plantation WASPs are the most useful fucks in the country m8. Literally got pissy and started a war because they found out they'd have to pay people to pick cotton for them. And then got their shit pushed in so hard they desperately cling to confederate flags and statues while their grandkids fuck Gaelic Dick from NY

>>2978198

what a load of shit that is

>>2978217
I didn't mean the sissy planters, I mean the average white cracker toiling hard in the humid southern weather.

Whean I think Italian I think of manly urban street gangsters, when I think of Irish and the Slavs I think of hardass muscular dock workers, when I think of Germans I think of stern butchers and grain farmers doing backbreaking labor, but when I think of Anglos I imagine a sickly, spoiled faggot, something like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons. Hilariously enough that character fits the WASP stereotype as much as he fits the jew stereotype.

go back to sucking dicks

>>2978243
When America was an Anglo country it was a backwater post-colonial shithole, it was the white European immigrants, and especially the Germans who made America into a superpower. Had America stayed an Anglo country it would become Canada 2.0, just with more niggers.

>>2978247

Canada is an irrelevant country with a communist cuck for a prime minister, where you can get arrested for misgendering trannies and insulting muslims, their cities have been overtaken by the Chinks and the only part of the country that's actually redeemable is full of frogs. Their diplomatic and military power is non-existent and so is their cultural identity, which can basically be boiled down to not being quite British and not being quite American.

Ahh. Sorry. I guess my argument is that you are using all the memes you learned online to describe an entire country in less than a paragraph, that "their PM is a cuck" is both untrue in the textbook definition of the word and that you couldn't even give me the definition of cuck if you tried, and that your racist diatribe against Chinese expats and French Canadians is not based in any reality other than a headline or two you read on /int/. My argument boils down to saying that you have not said anything and that if pressed you could not elaborate on a single one of your positions.

They started shit wherever they went. The New York Draft riots were started by the Irish and they were particularly fervent in their white supremacy all around. The largest anti-Asian movements on the west coast wee spearheaded by Irish. They generally started fights with every racial demographic in America, on sight.

I actually looked at a 18th century Dutch ship log for my BA dissertation and for some reason the Irish who only spoke Irish were their own section but the Irish who spoke English as well were grouped together with the Scots on board

That doesn't really have much relevance but I thought it was neat

>>2980383
"Irish" was a dead language until they memed it back to life in the 20th century.

>>2980395
>"Irish" was a dead language
In the 18th century? I think not my guy

>>2980395
but it "died" within a hundred years of it being brought back to life.

>at come later when Americans started doubting about their own witheness and began calling other non-whites to feel better about themselves
Because shitskins were nowhere near an existential threat to White America (as is how it should be) until the 1965 Immigration Act.
Nowadays the white share is 58% of the population, and dropping fast. You are a fool if you think people aren't going to notice that

OP, to your question, it works somewhat along the same lines. Oirish immigrants came in in pretty large numbers, and the Anglo-dominant culture of America didn't want to see their children growing up as drunken potato-niggers

>>2981295

Thanks for the example.

>>2980395

should have stayed so

fuck's sake what a doggerel tongue

>>2978745

hardly, I'm giving some twat the only response for which he's deserving

Many of the Irish people came after hunger issues in their country. Maybe frustration and flashbacks from those post-crisis ecounters caused them to be dick-ish and shit. Americans probably didn't liked the attitude of those 'humble' fellows.

As an Irishman who's seen his country flooded with 150 thousand or more shit eastern euro immigrants I can kinda see where you're coming from.
