Important edit for clarification: I am new to the website and had in my personal note that I googled whenever the Irish were actually legally considered white people. That's my fault though, regardless and I'll keep the post up for integrity's sake

Very strong title for this joke post lol. I just learned that Irish people weren't considered white until the 50s off of an Instagram reel and thought that was silly 🪿
