Racism is basically non-existent when you grow up around the race in question. It's not genetic at all. Once the Irish integrated enough and stopped being seen as an "other" they stopped being acknowledged as a separate "race" and just got absorbed into whiteness. There is no real biological reason for racism other than humans making bad assumptions.

and that is something that is biological. Humans are biologically tuned to make poor assumptions, but we're also biologically tuned to question those assumptions.

The Irish (and the Italians) had to gain their "whiteness" by abusing Blacks in order to "fit in".

This is equivalent of when mommy tells their kids how they are the best ever. I find it's more patronising then uplifting. Clearly trying to virtue signal and put black people on a pedastool

How about you address the issue at hand?
Why is there a need to replace history with lies?

You lie about history constantly. So drop pretending you give a single shit about historical accuracy.
