Irish Americans werenât always seen as white. In the 19th century, they were depicted as inferior, even compared to apes in racial hierarchies. This forgotten history shaped their place in Americaâhereâs what really happened. Sources: H. W. H. âThe Races of Britain.â Science, vol. 7, no. 155, 1886, pp. 84â86.

My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana. Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born. Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we? *Amazon links are affiliate links.

This bears sharing - I had a roommates who worked at The Irish Times in NYC, and folks there would talk about how the British dehumanized the Irish, because it was convenient for starving them & stealing their land: youtu.be/iesB_QlKWus?... It's a construct.
