This all makes it sound like the Irish bit is above racism, a privileged "white person" class that's never had any negative discrimination.
Back in the golden days of the British Empire there were academic discussions on how the Irish constituted a different sub-species of lesser humanity. Racism hasn't always been about skin colour, and still isn't.
Irish might have it somewhat easier today (but prejudices remain), but racism of all kinds, including anti-"white" (what the fuck is "White"? What the fuck is "Black"?), is just more of the same stupidity.
Newsflash; the genetic diversity within any given "racial" population you choose is *far* greater than the miniscule genetic differences that define the characteristics we call "race". There is no such thing as "race" except that which we create in our monkey heads.
