"They saying we might go to war, it’s crazy cause ever since we stopped talking I’ve been at war with myself. Idk why but this Iran shit got me thinking about how I ran from your love, hope everything is good with you though shorty. Be safe out here”

@Opsal That graph is fucking bullshit

2020-01-03 16:42:04 UTC  

Most of them are just Ulster Scots

2020-01-03 16:42:08 UTC  

Ffs

2020-01-03 16:42:17 UTC  

Who are not Ir*sh

do you have gene studies to back up that claim?

2020-01-03 16:59:13 UTC  
2020-01-03 16:59:50 UTC  

yeah, that these people are ulster scots and ulster scots are not irish

2020-01-03 17:01:38 UTC  

Sure

2020-01-03 17:01:45 UTC  

Let’s start with the presidents

2020-01-03 17:02:02 UTC  

Out of the 22 presidents

2020-01-03 17:02:11 UTC  

17 have ulster scot blood

2020-01-03 17:02:18 UTC  

While

2020-01-03 17:03:33 UTC  

Theodore Roosevelt was the first president with any actual Irish blood

2020-01-03 17:03:54 UTC  

Infact, there has only been one fully blooded Irish president

2020-01-03 17:04:03 UTC  

JFK

2020-01-03 17:04:13 UTC  

But

2020-01-03 17:04:50 UTC  

The main reason that so many have ulster scot blood is because practically ALL the early Irish

2020-01-03 17:05:06 UTC  

Were of the protestant Ulster Scot people

2020-01-03 17:06:03 UTC  

@Boniface And presidents like Nixon had ancestors who were apparently more mixed Irish

2020-01-03 17:06:05 UTC  

I.e

2020-01-03 17:06:13 UTC  

Already Anglo-Irish mutts

2020-01-03 17:06:28 UTC  

You can see the list for yourself

2020-01-03 17:06:37 UTC  

Ulster Scots are counted in as Irish

2020-01-03 17:06:51 UTC  

Simply because they lived in Ireland

2020-01-03 17:07:11 UTC  

Infact

2020-01-03 17:07:21 UTC  

Most of the prominent ”Irish”

2020-01-03 17:07:26 UTC  

Aren’t even Irish

2020-01-03 17:08:05 UTC  

Note that the author is Irish

2020-01-03 17:08:12 UTC  

But as is noted:

2020-01-03 17:09:20 UTC  

interesting

2020-01-03 17:09:24 UTC  

”[W]henever you hear about some famous “irish” person, like a scientist or an author, they’re more than likely to have anglo-irish or scots-irish ancestry.

for instance, if you look at this list on wikipedia of famous “irish” scientists (*chuckle*), the vast majority are or were either of scots-irish, old english, or anglo-irish background, not native irish. one or two were even partly or fully of some other ethnic background(s) (i.e. french huguenot and sephardic jewish). i can pick out only seven who are likely candidates for having a (mostly) native irish background: louis brennan, pádraig de brún, nicholas callan, aeneas coffey, richard kirwan (“one of the last supporters of the theory of phlogiston”), william dargan, and john philip holland — and i’m not so sure about dargan or holland (both of those surnames could be either british or irish). so that’s five to seven native irish out of a list of forty “irish”, and i bet most of you have never heard of any of them”

2020-01-03 17:11:57 UTC  

@Boniface We see the same pattern with Nobel Prize laureats, the great majority aren’t actually pure Irish

2020-01-03 17:16:53 UTC  

Interesting. I never knew that.

2020-01-03 17:54:54 UTC  

irish is a umbrella
