It was mostly just gang warfare. Irish gangs ruled supreme in New York until the mafia arrived, with Italians pushing into Irish territory, there was bound to be tension. But the Irish don't have a mafia culture like the Italians so they lost. Honestly not a single Irish or Italian in Europe has any idea that there was a conflict between their two emigrant groups and wouldn't care anyway
>>
>>79081197
Yeah, I guess I forgot about that too.
Irish eventually went from organized crime to all being a bunch of cops for some reason.
>>
>>79081211
Irish don't have a passion for organised crime. They just wanted work, and policing is good work for a stocky Irishman straight off the boat with an empty belly

He's right, there are no Irish crime organisations in the US. The closest you could come to it is IRA sympathisers but they're not in it solely for money and power and don't operate like a gang

Way back when it was a matter of class and stature. When the Italians first came to America, the Irish were fairly well established so they faced competition from these Italians who were willing to work for lower wages. This prompted the Irish to band together and form organizations and groups like political machines. Political machines generally get a bad reputation and are grouped with gangs or compared to the mafia, but the reality of the situation was that self enrichment was hardly a factor, figures like Boss Tweed were more help [for his lot] than harm (think: using influence to get the Irish jobs or using funds to bring coal to poor families in the winter.)

The Italians also carried themselves differently from the Irish and this turned the Irish off from them. While the Irish would go off to the pubs for the craic when it's the time, family and parish life was established in what they deemed a respectable manner and everyone would be expected to act proper and not working class, though not with any resentment towards working class because that's what the bulk of them were. Think like, knowing to use the correct knife and fork, table etiquette, sparkling water, Sunday best, and such. Italian culture was different of course and the Irish saw them as loud people who don't bathe or speak the language (just like people say today with the Latinos.) Then conversely, the Italians didn't like the Irish because they were seen as the elite and the powerful because, even though the vast majority were working class, the Irish were prominent in local government and overwhelmingly in control of the police force.

It's just a matter of old immigrants hating new ones. The english and germans did it to us Irish when we came. We did it to the Italians. The Italians do it to the POC. Everyone to the Jews.

Irish and Italians gradually cooled off after WWII, largely through Catholic school and parish communities. New exotic immigrants to 'take er jobs' also helped.
>>
>>79079301
i love Ireland

Irish in Ireland are surprised to hear the animosity, even when today it's mostly just fake animosity and there's a ton of intermarrying. Thinking of Italians here we think more along the lines of "they have good food" rather than "cousin-fucking spaghetti niggers'
>>
didn't all the immigrant groups hate each other as would be expected?

The pasty anglo faggots didn't like italians when they first showed up because they were roman catholics like the irish and poles.

Do ye think it was a choice?

You'd be speaking English if France wasn't in the way, Persian if the Greeks weren't in the way, Arabic if the Slavs weren't in the way, Spanish if Spain didn't collapse on itself (Latin if you didn't collapse on yourself,) French if it weren't for the Prussians and Brits, and German if it weren't for the yanks.


I agree with the 'fuck the brits' part though of cource

I hate to tell you Muhammed but the Italian gov offers duel citizenship to anyone who can trace at least one direct descendent living in Italy from after 1910.

my great grandfather told me he'd rather my aunt bring home a nigger than an Irish man. He said he'd never dealt with such a loud or slobbish people in his life. They never paid at his bar, and the Irish mob was the Italians sole competition (albeit a weak one). Irish never were "upper class" only Anglos and Scots-Irish that settled the country in the beginning get that title. Not the fuck useless micks you are.

both moved to new york city around the turn of the century. Due to the current populace considering neither of them white/anglo, they were segregated into different sections of the city, and at the same time, had different cultures of their own. Despite both being immigrants and both being mistreated by the american system, both sects grew up feuding with each other, either from marriage (irish catholic/protestant and italian catholic). People moved into each others sections, but generally the residents didnt want them changing the status quo and bringing their own groups in and ruining the way of life. Along with this, the youth grouped together in street gangs and fought over turf
