That is a purely racist question. Why are you so bigoted?

As recently as 10 years ago, I had an Irish friend in her 70's who remembered want ads that still said "No Irish need apply." Irish were mistreated in this country, as were blacks. So, it seems blacks and Irish in America had a lot in common during some shared history. No point in being against each other. Also, just some silly trivia - "Tyrone" is actually a county in Ireland, although it is often associated with black males.

Irish in Ireland, no, they are not particularly racist against blacks. In the past Irish Americans were.

Are blacks particularly racist toward Irish?

No, they're not. You'll find some Irish-Americans who are, of course, but there are always some idiotic racists in every group. On the whole, though, they're just like any other group.
In Ireland, if you're American, regardless of color, they seem to like you. Judging by a lot of the music I heard there, they still love the fact that we kicked British rear 200+ years ago. Now if you're English....

I'm Irish and I have no problems with any race, creed or color, not sure where u are getting that opinion from...what i think is amusing however is when "blacks" as you call them, always think that people are racist towards them. MOVE ON...the war is over!!!! Who care, have a drink and move the hell on! :) Stop being so insecure! :) cheers! :)

have you ever heard of the Black Irish?
in general, Europeans are more liberal towards different creeds, breeds, races, color, and ignorance.
