I hope none of you appropriate this holiday. No, not "everybody is Irish today". Have fun, just don't be bigoted. Maybe take a moment of your day to learn and reflect on irish hardships instead of living it up on stereotypes?

I'm actually part Irish and I don't drink. Irish were enslaved, victims of "systemic racism" and generally "disadvantaged" a lot longer and harsher than any group of Africans ever were. Even here in the US, "Irish need not apply". However they didn't sit around and mope and cry about it for generations, they fought and worked hard to overcome it.
