How did the Irish become white?

@bijouxbroussard bear in mind race is a social construct. Irish, because they were colonised were thought to be of "lesser racial stock" than Anglo-Saxons and other Germanics. Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese and Greeks had it the same. Which is ironic, seeing as Spain created the pintura de castas, which was the original blueprint for racial hierarchy.

@JohnnySpot His father, Cecil, was from British Guyana. This is Philip with his parents.

@Yulianna I know right I’ve always been white

@Funlov i have met very few Irish people but they were all a kind of pale creamy pink colour, with freckly things. some were a bit pinker...

but none of them was white.

have they changed suddenly? is it to do with COVID?

@Funlov The video was made exactly for people like you

@uncalled4 what’s that mean?

@Funlov Silly joke about how that stiff rhythm feel is associated with white people(I'm white and half Irish).

@uncalled4 my dad’s, Scottish, my mother’s Irish they came here to Canada from there so I don’t understand. I’ve always been white lol.
