They were POC. They no longer are.

My fucking god, the ignorance of you people is grating. Race is a goddamned motherfucking construct. Racial boundaries change depending on time and place. Prior to the advent of the African slave trade, "black" did not possess negative racial connotations; much of the bullshit that is used to justify racism against blacks was developed as a justification for slavery, not the other way around.

Additionally, Irish people (as well as Germans, Italians, Spaniards, Polish folks, etc) were not considered to be white in the 1800s and early 1900s. They were all considered to be members of separate and unequal races. So, there actually is some logic to people saying that they are POC, and you idiots would know that if you actually studied any of this shit instead of just reacting to crap on the internet. The reason it's now wrong for people to say that the Irish are POC is because they no longer are, not because the concept itself is ridiculous.

Yes, we (Irish people) were regarded as racially different from Anglo Saxons. No, we were not regarded as being a different colour. We were regarded as a different and inferior sort of white person. It's absurd to use the modern US term Person of Colour in this context

I'm not starting in on you, but are you American? Your slang suggests you are. I find a lot of Americans very hung up on skin colour as being the sole defining feature of racial discrimination and the only way you can rationalise white-on-white racial discrimination is to either go "that's not racism, it's xenophobic bigotry" or to do what you're doing and say "they were regarded as racially different and that automatically equals not-white". You do the same sort of thing when it comes to things like Asian-on-Asian racism - it's recast as classism or shadism or any other sort of -ism just as long as it's not racism because you can't conceive of racism as something that can happen between people who have roughly the same skin colour and without white people being involved.

I love you.

[(Anonymous)]

I love this comment, thank you for saying this.

[(Anonymous)]

Wish I could thumb up this comment. Thank you for putting that idiot in their place.

I love how they ignore that along with the Irish (and other Celtic people), women were also regarded as inferior to the "default" white Anglo-Saxon Protestant man. And still, women were not regarded as "POC".

It always fascinates me how insistent Americans are to implement their local terms, mannerisms and beliefs worldwide.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd love this comment too, but I'm not the same person as every single one of the other responders has been (lol IPs).

How was stroking your own ego by responding to yourself five times, anon?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure I only replied to this once and I'm not the same anon as all the others. "lol IPs" for real.

[(Anonymous)]

Are you new here?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the Irish person who made the long comment you just responded to and I just got in from work where I haven't been fucking around on the internet all day replying to myself, so I've no idea who those other anons are or why you might think it was me.

Do you have anything constructive or useful to add yourself?

[(Anonymous)]

IP logging isn't on. And even if it was, only case would be able to see them.

[(Anonymous)]

IP logging isn't even on...

[(Anonymous)]

lol you can't see IPs, and they aren't on anyway. you laaaame.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

You are right and I was wrong, and I'm sorry for it. Thank you for taking the time to write up this thoughtful response.

[(Anonymous)]

That's cool. Thanks for acknowledging.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi again OP.

[(Anonymous)]

How is that made-up IP logging going for you? Are you switching it on with the power of your tiny mind?

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, how's that agreeing with yourself going for you, OP?
