I was watching a video by farmer Michael (who's Irish) and at the very end around 1:23 Kathleen says Irish were not always considered to be white and they were treated pretty badly in America but farmer Michael subjugates the conversation by sarcasm. I tried googling the history behind it and found out many articles like this. There's also a book written on the latter ’How the Irish Became White’ by Noel Ignatiev. Afaik they've always been white and the Kennedy family (which is kind of considered to be the America Royalty) is of Irish Origin and most of the modern day Americans seem to go merry hell when they find out that they are .0001% Irish and also they look like the fairest people to me in Europe. If Irish were treated badly how did the Kennedy family rose to power and became the American royalty albeit it isn't as influential these days but as I hear being a Kennedy is considered to be a really big thing in America. Could someone fill me in. Thanks!
