I'm saying that describing any ethnic group of people as being violent racists is unhelpful and usually inaccurateI never said NYC is any more or Less racist than LA or seattle.
In fact i didnt mention them at all and i dont Know why youre mentioning them. Im referring to The racist Irish cops that were on the east coast, so why would i mention the west coast?its irrelevant
The timespan i was referring to was the first wave of mass migration / post famine; late 18th C / Early 20th C
I dont know if youre arguing with me that it didn't happen (because it definitely did) or something else
Talking about any ethnicity that way is rarely helpful
The only way the cartoon works is if you believe Irish Americans are, as a group, violent racists
What the Kerry girl drew was basically an updated Punch cartoon and I have a problem with the depiction
ETA
(I acknowledge that this is a widely held view though and there is not a whole lot of love for Irish Americans in
Ireland
Probably belongs in Unpopular Opinions - "I think Irish Americans are mostly alright")
