Answer 2

That's because the Irish in both the British Empire and the U.S. wewre historically treated like second-class citizens. Many came over as indentured servants or were recruited into the armed forces to die for a country that treated them like crap. In essence, they were considered by the general non-Irish, bigoted whites as trash and equivalent, in their minds, to non-whites and treated just the same. Also, there might be a reference there to the "Black Irish", which has nothing to do with skin color.

Just before the Mexican-American war (U.S. invasion of sovereign Mexico, really), a group of Irish soldiers in the U.S. army deserted because of mistreatment of the Irish and religious persecution in the army. They deserted to Mexico. When the war was declared, they were officially "capital" deserters and couldn't come back to fight for the U.S. without being shot. So, they stayed in Mexico and formed a very tough and elite fighting corps - fighting for the Mexicans.

Check out the movie, "One Man's Hero".

Answer 3

Are you a troll or what? Why might you think of the variety of element? Mexicans are not a race the two--they are mix of interior of sight and eu. Irish have precisely the comparable dna as different Europeans--in actuality they have notably much less non-Euro ancestry with the aid of fact of eire's relative isolation in historic situations.
